About

Free to visit and open daily to the public until 9pm or sunset in summer, Crossrail Place Roof Garden is one of London’s largest public roof gardens .

Wander through and admire the exotic plants, relax on one of the many benches nestled in hidden pathways or enjoy a show in the amphitheatre.

A rarely known fact but Crossrail Place sits almost exactly on the Meridian line and the planting is arranged according to which hemisphere they are from with Asian plants such as bamboos to the east, and plants such as ferns from the Americas to the west. Making this place not only cool, but fun to navigate and very informational.

What we think

The roof garden is a hidden gem of Canary Wharf. The architecture , the arrangements and the plants all make it a lovely place to rewind, chill or even go out for a little date if you are up to do it.
