Coutts Skyline Garden – ballot now closed
The ballot is now closed to visit the Coutts Skyline Garden. Started by Peter Fiori in 2012, the rooftop garden at Coutts Bank is packed in tightly across 400m of outdoor corridors. Four different plots produce fresh crops to be served in the Coutts private dining rooms. It’s also home to 80,000 bees who work hard alongside Peter and his team. Visitors will be inspired by Peter’s passion for fresh food, health, and sustainability during the tour as they learn about the history of the garden and its environmental impact. Don’t forget to check out the amazing view across the Strand, St Martin-in-the-Fields and Nelson’s Column.
