London: garden on top of building

I was watching the travel channel today<BR>and seen a mention of a garden on top of a building in London, I did not get the name of<BR>the building it was on. Has anyone more information on this site? It is supposed to<BR>be one of the prettiest gardens to be seen in London.

Bookie is correct. I saw the Travel Channel show, too (It's a channel on American cable TV). It was in Kensington High Street, but I didn't pay attention to where.

I have a book by Geoffrey Young &quot;Walking London's Parks and Gardens&quot; that references this place. According to the book: &quot;The Kensington Roof Gardens are above Bhs on Kensington High Street. The entrance is at the bottom of Derry Street, W8, on the right (west) side. You sign yourself in at the reception desk in the foyer, and take the dedicated lift to the roof. It is open 09:00-18:00 hours whenever the Club is not in use. Tel: 0171 937 7994 to check. Admission is free.&quot;

The phone code there is rather old - it is now 020 (for London)7937 7994. The roof gardens have their own website:<BR><BR>www.roofgardens.com<BR><BR>It looks as though they are currently open 11am - 5pm

Thanks for your many replies, I believe<BR>that is the roof garden that they showed on the show I was watching. I do believe I will have to make a visit.
