Cardinal Place, London

The Cardinal Place development in the City of Westminster includes three main public spaces: the grand galleria with views of Westminster Cathedral, the pedestrian walkways lined with shops and restaurants and the landscaped roof garden. The oval roof garden has a large open space with chess board paving used for concerts and art exhibitions. It is bordered by a curved stepped lawn providing a really nice space for workers and visitors to sit and eat their lunch and relax. This garden is quite bare and minimal which works really well. I think the lighting in the park is a bit tacky though, too bright and dramatic and not very welcoming.
