Kensington Roof Gardens London Not to be confused with Kensington Gardens, Kensington Roof Gardens is London's equivalent of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. See Kensington Roof Gardens Photos. In the unlikely location 100ft above street level, on top of a department store building in the busy Kensington shopping area, you'll find a tranquil garden planted in the 1930s. Kensington Roof Gardens Introduction I learned about Kensington Roof Gardens from David Long's book Spectacular Vernacular. Virgin Limited Edition - the luxury portfolio of Virgin Hotels Group Ltd - have owned the gardens since 1981, and renamed them 'The Roof Gardens' (although everyone still refers to them as Kensington Roof Gardens). Combine your visit to Kensington Roof Gardens with a meal at the Babylon restaurant which serves contemporary British cuisine and overlooks the gardens. Themed Gardens There are three themed gardens, with over 70 full size trees, a flowing stream stocked with fish and resident flamingos: Bill, Ben, Splosh and Pecks.

Our shops have the best collections at the best prices and this is because we don’t take vintage too seriously or not seriously enough (faults I have found in rival vintage cities). The laid back, thrown together style coupled with high quality fabrics and quirky patterns is a popular look with London’s trendier locals and so for this it is to the vintage shops they head. East End Thrift Store A personal favourite of mine, The East End Thrift Store has a carefully curated collection alongside bargain prices.
