The Garden at 120

The Garden at 120 is a public rooftop garden located on Fenchurch Street that rises above the surrounding streets and buildings. The space features a mix of trees, flowing water, and planted areas distributed across the rooftop level.

The garden opened in 2019 as part of a major building development, starting a new era for public spaces integrated into commercial structures. This marked a shift in how such places are designed and made accessible within the city.

The space merges British horticultural customs with contemporary urban garden design, created by German landscape architects. Visitors experience how this approach brings together varied planting styles and purposes in a single setting.

Access is free through dedicated lifts, though opening times vary by day and season so it is worth checking in advance. Wear proper shoes as the ground surface changes across different planted and paved sections.

The space contains a substantial collection of trees from different species, including varieties that are rarely seen at this height in gardens. This botanical variety on a rooftop is surprising since roof gardens in major cities typically remain simpler in design.
