Crossrail Place Roof Garden
Crossrail Place Roof Garden is one of London's most unique green spaces, offering a peaceful escape above the bustling streets of Canary Wharf. Perched on the roof of the Elizabeth line station, this striking indoor garden is free to visit and provides a tranquil setting where visitors can relax among exotic plants, trees and winding pathways throughout the year.
The garden's spectacular timber lattice roof shelters plants from both the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, reflecting Canary Wharf's maritime trading history and the routes once travelled by ships arriving at the nearby West India Docks. As you explore, you'll discover species from Asia, the Americas, Africa and Australasia, carefully arranged either side of the Prime Meridian, which passes through the garden.
Designed by the renowned architects Foster + Partners, Crossrail Place combines innovative architecture with beautiful landscaping to create a peaceful oasis in the heart of one of London's busiest business districts. Visitors can enjoy seating areas, admire the changing seasonal planting or simply take a break while exploring Canary Wharf. Throughout the year, the garden also hosts free performances, community events and activities in its intimate amphitheatre.
Just a short walk from Canary Wharf Underground, DLR and Elizabeth line stations, Crossrail Place Roof Garden is an ideal stop during a day out in Tower Hamlets. Whether you're looking for a quiet place to unwind, an interesting architectural landmark or a unique photo opportunity, this hidden garden offers a memorable experience for visitors of all ages.
