Exhibition: Roof Garden on top of John Lewis

The rooftop has been transformed with a mix of traditional and contemporary garden design elements into a place for you to relax, take in the view of the London skyline, and enjoy a series of events.

The roof garden will be open from Saturday 3 May, a tranquil space where you can enjoy a bite to eat and a fresh juice from 'Joe and the Juice'.

We want you to look, smell and discover one of the largest new roof gardens in the capital. Designer Tony Woods takes an innovative approach to traditional garden design by utilising British landscape features with the zeitgest of today. Planting has been carefully selected to ensure that the garden provides an abundance of colour and scent throughout our 150 celebrations, and gardeners from our own Longstock estate will also be helping to transform the space.

The plants are nectar-rich and include favourite plants of yesteryear, such as roses and lavender. More contemporary planting includes blocks of textural grasses, peppered with wild flowers, and living wall schemes to encourage biodiversity.
