Unbelievable, but the Roof Gardens as the name suggests indeed is on top of a building on High Street Kensington and it is there since the 1930s.
The people commissioned this vast work at the time might have wanted to follow and recreate the idea of the hanging gardens of Babylon and I must say it bloody well turned out!
It's on the top of the building of the Gap Store and the entry is from Derry street, although it still belongs to 99 High Street Ken!
Before you go there you need to call them to see if it is open or not, because the garden is booked for many events during the year from wedding and birthdays to film shooting or award evenings and celebrity balls!
Once you knew when it is open just turn up, sign in and head to the lift that takes you to the 6th floor and exiting the lift and going through the Cafe/Brasserie on that level you finally reach paradise! I am not joking! This little green island in the middle of a concrete jungle of our super busy and dense capital: London.

When I was here I totally forgot that I was in London! Beautiful flowers, palm trees in the Spanish gardens! Lots of roses and callas everywhere in the Tudor garden and a wild woodland garden with a small pond/stream. On top of all of these, flamingos will walk freely around you. They seem to be very people friendly.
