Battersea Roof Gardens is one of London's largest residential roof gardens, spanning 29,000ft2 and planted with 23,000 plants and 55 trees. Designed by internationally renowned landscape architect James Corner of Field Operations, and delivered by the multi-award winning LDA Design, the residential rooftop garden offers inspiring views of the adjacent Grade II* listed power station and the London skyline, and follows the unique undulations of the Foster + Partners designed building on which it sits.
Perennial planting changes through the seasons, creating a vibrant, ever-changing backdrop to the neighbouring power station. The green and yellow of Euphorbia sits next to tall, violet-blue spires of Perovskia adding structure and drama, whilst encouraging bees and butterflies. In May and June, light and dark purple Alliums stand proud, followed by clusters of sea holly and slender, long-flowering mauve Verbena, all set against a backdrop of green and gold grasses, including Deschampsia, Helicotrichon and Sesleria.
Nestled inside the planting is a series of spaces for seating where neighbours can congregate and socialise, including a generous 'community dining table'. Wooden loungers are the perfect spot to soak up the sun. The garden also features a grassed area for yoga and small events.
Battersea Roof Gardens is part of the 42-acre Battersea Power Station riverside neighbourhood, centred around the Grade II* listed landmark. The vibrant town centre is now home to over 150 shops, restaurants, bars and unique leisure experiences now open across the riverside neighbourhood, and is connected to the rest of Central London via the Zone 1 Battersea Power Station Underground station.
