This trend of building green areas on top of buildings is attracting a lot of attention, to the point that we had to book in advance to visit Sky Garden.\u00a0The experience was well-worthy.<\/p>\n

It is a landscape garden which\u00a0sits on floors 35th to 37th of the so-called ‘walkie-talkie’ building in the City, which was once voted the ugliest skyscraper in London. I found particularly appealing how architects have made the glass dome on top of the building functional and pretty. Most of the buildings around do not have functional roof areas.<\/p>\n

I loved the way architects have used the structure to create a garden and three businesses on floors 35th to 37th of the 'walkie-talkie' building. #London<\/a><\/p>\n
