This one has always confused me. It looks expensive yes it is probably quite pleasant but if you have a large (got to be several hundred feet) Thames Riverside garden why not put a boat on it?? I bet for the money they spent on this crap they could get a really nice boat..  I've only got one camera available on the phone as the one on the back is broken. |

Well yeah but this way they can enjoy their expensive wine without having their palette tainted...

Surely the wine would taste better on a boat like everything else.
It is remarkable to see the millions of pounds worth of real estate and hardly any boats at all.
I don't get it.

I don't get it, I get why you might want to sit over the river on a nice day, but why the glass box, must be friggin boiling today..

I expect it has air conditioning.
I did consider the possibility that the land owners "do not like boats" but discounted this due to the vanishingly small probability.
I reckon they were sold that item by some sort of clever targeted advertising scheme.
Magazine I'd bet.

That glass box has been there for years, it used to have a much better view up and down the river before the trees got so large. I can see the attraction of sitting in there on a summers evening with a glass or two watching the world go by.
Forgot to mention the sides do slide open, or at least they did ten or so years ago.

I think they put it in sometime in the 90s. Vague memory of it being installed and I think it might have been transported there on a boat..
Have been past there countless times but never once seen anyone in it.
Certainly less pointless if the sides open up I didn't realise that.
I'd still prefer a boat though !

I remember a lunch/dinner party in there must have been about 2003.
Seem to remember sides were open

Probably very nice on a cold winters afternoon too. With the heating on.

Perhaps they like showing their naked bums to passing boats? |

Well suppose they don't get bothered by wasps or midges if shut up and air conditioned...
not to my taste, i prefer the great outdoors
