A rooftop garden in London: The Garden at 120

The Garden at 120 is a rooftop garden in the heart of the City of London. The view from this panoramic terrace is absolutely breathtaking.

The Garden at 120 is a lush, open-air garden on the roof of an office building. Nestled between the skyscrapers of the City on the 15th floor of the Fen Court Building, it offers a panoramic, à 360° view of the entire capital, from Canary Wharf to the Shard, the Walkie-Talkie, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London and the Thames, to la St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the Gherkin. 

The garden is surrounded by glass panels, which allow you to fully enjoy the scenery. As he stood by the edge, Jérôme felt like he was literally suspended above London. 

In the summer, the vegetation is lush and abundant: wisteria, roses, creeping plants, lavender, fig trees, lilies, and entire walls of fragrant jasmine…

With its many benches and reflective water feature, this spot is the perfect place to take a break and enjoy some quiet time when the weather is nice, with a stunning view of the city. 

Entry to the garden via the elevator is free, and there is no booking required.

Jérôme felt like he was suspended above London. But Steph? Did she not venture that far over? ;-). (Personally I’m a little weary of height and don’t ever venture to look down!)

What a coincidence! Love that. You can have your lunch there once the weather gets warmer again 😄
There’s a security check at the foot of the building, I think the only thing they rejected were glass bottles.

Thanks for your advice. We live close to London and we will try it out. Yesterday we drove past all these buildings. London is also impressive at night. But we will wait until the spring time. Sometimes, you live too close to a place to notice the good bits. Especially, when London is a place to commute on a regular basis. Thanks for your advice.
