Early last week, I checked out London's newest roof garden at 120 Fenchurch Street on Fen Court. This roof garden is known as "The Garden at 120" and is on top of the new Fen Court building (the 15th floor) off Fenchurch Street. It is also free to visit. The roof garden is a large size (2,800 square metres) with beautiful 360 degree views over London, introducing new options to see some of London's most famous landmarks. It is built to accommodate 207 people. At some point later this year, a restaurant will be opening at the roof garden too. Plants and a water feature are included on top, giving a quiet time for visitors to reflect amongst and between the towering skyscrapers, buildings and views.
The architects of the building are Eric Parry Architects. On the ground floor level near the lifts, a projection of the view is shown on the ceiling.
The roof garden at 120 Fenchurch is currently open on weekdays from 10:00 to 6:30 with longer hours (until 9:00) in the summer. I am not sure if the roof garden will be open during the weekend, but they are running some trials to see if it is viable.
