The then-PM wanted it to stay in Greenwich
Tony Blair's government was offered the chance to move the Millennium Dome out of London to Swindon, according to newly-released official files.
In March 2001, the Director of the Science Museum Lindsay Sharp came up with a solution for the venue. He said the external Dome structure could be moved to a 620 acre site owned by the Museum. There it could house a research centre, exhibition attraction, and "a living residential community of the 'third age'", as well as a tourist village and special school.
