Not on the flood plain, but on an artificial island, like Hong

Maybe we could do something similar - fill in the whole Thames

Why, when we have the whole of the Isle Of Grain to build an airport on?
(Just noticed there's a munitions store near Cliffe... that's only about 8
miles from the SS Richard Montgomery.)
