View Masterplan

Themed rides, shows and attractions will be inspired by globally recognised brands to create a unique, world-class entertainment destination.

Theatres, indoor and outdoor venues both inside and outside the theme park ‘payline’ will provide West End quality productions, comedy acts and concerts, along with retail and dining. The range of amenities and facilities on offer outside the payline means that the London Resort will offer an appealing destination to afternoon or evening visitors from the local area and beyond, without them having to pay for theme park entrance.

Key features of our Masterplan are outlined below.

Leisure core

The Leisure Core is at the heart of the London Resort. Inside the theme park gates there will be rides, shows and attractions based around global brands. These are referred to as Gate 1 (53.5 hectares) and Gate 2 (22 hectares).

 

The Market (Main Square)

Set over 22,000m2, the Market area sits outside of the theme park gates and will accommodate the main flow of visitors. Guests can proceed to the Conferention Centre (Conference and Convention Centre), eSports Centre or the theme park.

 

The Plaza (arrival hub)

The Plaza is the arrival hub for visitors arriving via all modes of transport. The Plaza will set the tone for visitors with clear signage to help guests find their way.

 

Conferention Centre and eSports Centre (events)

The Conferention Centre will be adjacent to the Market, creating a visual landmark along Pilgrims’ Way. It will have a capacity of 3,000 attendees and can be used for concerts, live television productions, exhibitions and other events.

The eSports Centre will offer TV studios, exhibition space and a 2,500 seat, 360 degree arena, designed for large-scale gaming events.

Hotels

By 2029, four hotels with a total capacity of up to 3,550 ‘keys’ (rooms or suites) will provide accommodation for visitors. Some of the hotels will be themed to link up with other attractions; and some with links to the Water Park and Conferention Centre.

 

Water Park

A large-scale indoor water park will be situated adjacent to the Market (to the east) and linked with one of the hotels.

Visitor Centre and Staff Training Facility

The Visitor Centre will offer views over the London Resort site, enabling visitors to view progress during the construction phase of the Project, and provide the staff recruitment and training centre.

 

Accessibility

All aspects relating to inclusive access have and will continue to be considered and integrated throughout the design and development process.

 

Pedestrian and cycle access

A pedestrian route from the A226 London Road through to the Ferry Point, and an enhanced network of pedestrian and cycle routes on and around the Peninsula will enable the local community to access walks along the edge of the river and appreciate the London Resort’s natural surroundings.

Transport interchanges

New transport interchanges will be created, to facilitate travel to the London Resort without reliance on the car. Guests can arrive by coach, Fastrack, and our dedicated shuttle services connecting Ebbsfleet International Station and the Ferry Terminals.

 

Road access and parking

A new access road from the A2 will provide the sole means of visitor access by private car. There will be up to 7,500 car parking spaces for visitors on the Peninsula, and 2,500 parking spaces will be at the Tilbury site. There will be additional parking for staff, coaches, motor cycles, and bikes.

 

Habitat enhancement

The London Resort will showcase its natural features on site. Landscape and habitat enhancements will include managed public access to retained habitats and improvement works to protect wildlife.

Quiet zones for visitors will form a network of green spaces that link the Peninsula and the wider area.

 

Back of House

A ‘Back of House’ area will accommodate many of the necessary supporting technical and logistical operations to enable the London Resort to function.

 

Staff accommodation

Staff accommodation will be provided in Craylands Lane Pit, between the A226 London Road to the north and the railway to the south. The site will be connected via a dedicated shuttle service.

 

Utilities and service infrastructure

The London Resort site will incorporate comprehensive provisions for utilities and service infrastructure with an emphasis on resilience and sustainability
