Nestled atop the Crossrail Station in Canary Wharf, the Crossrail Place Roof Garden is
00:05
a public rooftop oasis, blending architecture, botany and urban connectivity.
00:12
One of its defining features, it roughly sits on the prime meridian and the planting is
00:17
arranged by hemisphere, eastern plants, bamboos and maples on one side and western species
00:24
from ferns and sweetgums on the other.
00:27
It's free to visit and it's open daily until 9pm in the evening, or sunset in summer,
00:34
and offers winding paths, hidden benches and even a small amphitheatre for performances.
00:42
Beyond being a green retreat, the garden plays a social role too.
00:45
It bridges the business district of Canary Wharf, with the residential area of Poplar creating
00:50
a shared urban space.
