The City of London has successfully shed its purely corporate persona to become one of the capital’s most fascinating architectural hubs. The Garden at 120, positioned elegantly on the rooftop of 10 Fenchurch Avenue, stands as a spectacular, open-air public garden pavilion that offers complete public access for zero cost.
- Designed by the acclaimed landscape studio Latz + Partner, the space features a magnificent canopy of structural timber pergolas, native fruit trees, and water streams that wrap around the elevated viewing platform, offering panoramic views of Tower Bridge and the Shard. Walking through this linear sky park on a Tuesday morning offers absolute stillness before the financial district’s lunch rush begins, making it an exceptional free cultural escape that showcases the vanguard of modern vertical public park engineering.
