The Apprentice: which landing site?

[scooter boy]

Did anyone catch the first episode of the new "apprentice" series last night?
Sir Alan was conveyed to the first meeting with his teams by Rotormotion and the location was "Isle of Dogs". Was this Breeze helipad or a different one on the Thames?

It was Vanguard.

Vanguard twice today. Love their signs to deter burglars:ok:

I don't know wether you're aware of the Vanguard site but it is located on the west-side of the Isle of Dog on the north shore line of the Thames.

It's literally the nearest landing site for helicopters to the Canary Wharf complex and the financial district of the City of London. It's even closer to the square mile than Battersea Heliport.

Unfortunately, gaining permission to land at the stated site is a different story!

If anyone could give me the site and contact details for Vanguard I would be most grateful. Cheers.
