A SECRET GARDEN IN THE CITY
About the Garden
Step out of the lift onto the 15th floor, and London’s skyline opens up around you. The Garden at 120 stretches across the rooftop with wisteria, roses, hydrangeas and a long water feature, framing views to the Thames, Tower Bridge and The City’s towers.
Find a bench by the water for a lunch break, a quiet corner for a moment alone, or a spot to take in the panorama with friends. Free to visit all year round, no booking needed.
