Crossrail Place Roof Garden

Crossrail Place is an enormous, ship-like building that houses Canary Wharf railway station, and its roof is the largest timber project in the UK.

Here, you’ll find a rooftop garden filled with exotic plants and hidden spots to escape the crowds below. The garden is carefully arranged according to hemisphere, with Asian bamboos to the east, and ferns from the Americas to the west.

Families can also settle into its 80-seater amphitheatre, which regularly hosts music, dance and theatre. Programmed by performing arts charity, The Space Theatre, all performances are free and have a true community feel.
