London鈥檚 highest vegetable patch, a herb garden and yoga lawn are among features expected to be included in the designs of a huge new roof terrace next to Battersea Power Station.
Latest images of the 1,200 ft long gardens overlooking the former electricity generator also show barbecue spots, sun decks and fitness areas, plus spaces for communal events such as cinema screenings.
The gardens sit on top of buildings designed by Foster & Partners and are expected to be completed by mid鈥�2021. They are part of the third phase of the 拢9 billion regeneration of the Grade II listed power station and the 42 acres of land around it.
The plans for the Battersea Roof Gardens have been drawn up by the team behind the New York High Line, James Corner Field Operations, and will be delivered by Holborn鈥恇ased landscape practice LDA Design.
The boom in roof gardens means London鈥檚 elevated green spaces now cover 371 acres (bigger than Hyde Park) beating other cities known for their high鈥恟ise gardens including Singapore and Tokyo.
LDA Design director Ben Walker said: 鈥淭he public and private spaces of this incredible site are designed to cater for the communities of the future.鈥�
