It has been five months since 'The Garden at 120' on Fenchurch Street has opened to visitors. I visited soon after it was opened in March and took some photographs, impressed at the good views, especially the views toward Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. You can see my photographs from my first visit in March here: London's Newest Roof Garden @ 120 Fenchurch Street. Well, I went back at the beginning of July with a friend from the states; we'd wanted to also visit the Walkie Talkie before to get breakfast, but this seems too busy to visit anymore even though they do say walk-ins were fine, we were turned away twice.
I got to see the difference in the seasons from 'The Garden at 120'; when I visited it in March, plants had been planted and landscaped, but nothing was in bloom except for a few daffodils, and it appeared a bit empty. On my July visit, the plants had grown and were in beautiful bloom. I didn't take any photographs of the view, so please check out my earlier post to see more photographs.
At some point, there will be some restaurants up here, but there wasn't anything when I visited. The gardens are free to visit, and I think that visitors will be impressed with the view.
