One of my regrets was never getting to fly on board Concorde. and I am now trying to fill a bit of this void in my life by creating a Concorde seat map on SeatExpert.com.
My first attempt is located at:

I have a few questions that perhaps some of the Concorde verterans can help answer:
1. Doors L1 and R1 appears to be asymetrical, is this correct?
Yes
2. I have guestimated the window locations based on studying many photographs and even borrowing my son's Concorde model. Are there obvious errors on the seat map?
I don't think there are any windows after row 26
3. Are the second and third set of doors symmetrical?
Yes
4. Are locations of lavatories correct?
Yes
5. Where exactly are the galleys located?
At the very back and the front
6. What is your favorite seat on Concorde, and why?
24A, 25A, 26A. When leaving JFK you (often) made an immediate sharp left turn and being on the left meant you got a real feeling of speed as the water rushed by. Also, being at the back meant maximum engine noise on take off and landing which gave a great feeling of power.
7. Do the back row(s) tighter due to fuselage taper? If so, at what row number does the tapering begin?
No
8. Locations of closets and storage cabinets.
Closets , if I remember correctly, were all located around door 1L. As you came in and turned right, there was a little alcove with today's Champagne, and after that some closets.
9. Any other information that you think might be helpful.
Smoking rows used to be 24/25/26
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
