FED up with your usual route to work and fancy something new? Well, you may soon be travelling 300metres above the Thames on a Zeppelin thanks to entrepreneur and former contender on the BBC’s The Apprentice series, Rory Laing.

He is hoping to bring the 75m airship to London in July, flying passengers from Chelsea Harbour to Canary Wharf.

If all goes to plan it will be the first time a Zeppelin has come to the UK since the 1930s. If it does arrive, though, the airship will only be cruising down the Thames for a month and can hold just 12 passengers at a time, along with two crew.
