Inside Margate's restored Dreamland with Wayne Hemingway: 'The coast is Britain's jewel in the crown'

'From the top you can see the sea," shouts Wayne Hemingway, doyen of British designers, striding up the wooden tracks of the roller coaster. Around us stretch the merry-go-rounds and rubble of Dreamland, one of UK's oldest amusement parks, which is reopening next weekend after a £18m rebuild. Wayne waves at the blue horizon beyond the Georgian houses, where seagulls wheel over the Kent coast. He turns with a grin. "The coast is Britain's jewel in the crown. If I was starting my life again, I'd love to start in a place like Margate."
