- Restaurants and bars can be established to add vast business benefits
- Grow fresh vegetables, fruit and flowers
- Valuable usable space that reduces noise
- Event venues e.g. Christmas parties, private events and corporate parties

If you buy or rent a house you typically want a garden. Is it not unreasonable to expect a garden or terrace for your office where you spend most of your time? A space that provides an alternative to the typically sealed, air conditioned environment of a modern office and an option to escape from your workstation at lunch to eat a sandwich or just to think, breathe fresh air and enjoy the view.![Bevis-Marks-Tim-Soar](http://www.savoystewart.co.uk/rbt/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Bevis-Marks-Tim-Soar.jpg)

Sky garden
155 metres above street level, sits The Sky Garden; the rooftop garden at 20 Fenchurch Street. Its motto ‘a garden in the sky’, brags a stunning selection of trees, flowers and breath-taking views. The Sky Garden spans three floors and has some of the most uninterrupted views of London; with The Shard directly in sight. The garden is a truly unique space that is a vibrant place of leisure, open to the public.![Sky-Garden](http://www.savoystewart.co.uk/rbt/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Sky-Garden-1.jpg)

Kensington roof gardens
Kensington Roof Gardens is a beautiful and exotic roof garden covering 1.5 acres on top of the former Derry and Toms building on Kensington High Street. The rooftop gardens are 100 feet above the ground and is split into three themed gardens. The roof garden was for a long time, the largest rooftop garden in the whole of Europe, until one was built on the shopping mall Emporia in 2012 in Sweden. The garden, like others in London cannot be viewed from the ground and is accessible from Derry Street, through a door marked ‘99’.![the-roof-gardens-spanishgarden](http://www.savoystewart.co.uk/rbt/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/the-roof-gardens-spanishgarden.jpg)
The three themed gardens are as follows:
- Spanish Garden – it is Moorish styled and based on the Alhambra in Spain. It features fountains, vine-covered walkways and Chusan palms.
- Tudor Style Garden – the garden exhibits secret corners, hideouts, archways and hanging wisteria roses, lilies and lavender. The garden oozes a summer scent.
- English Woodland Garden – there are 100 species of trees, stream and a pond that’s home to pintail ducks and four flamingos called Bill, Ben, Splosh and Pecks. There are also 30 different species of trees.
