Biggest Green Roof in the middle of The City of London

Last week I went to a meeting at a new building in London. The law firm which now resides in the building in the City is justifiably proud of its Green aspects. Because my firm is a planning and design firm, they gave us a tour of their newly finished "Green Roof."

This photo shows you was a misnomer green roof is, the planting results in a green and red carpet of low growing plant material - I forgot the name of the plant. It even has some higher stems which are topped with a white flower. There are bird and bat boxes to encourage wildlife. The building manager was very funny when he said it was hard to get used to the idea that he was supposed to be attracting flora and fauna to the roof; apparently that strikes against all his previous building management experience. But he seemed very please with his expansive new territory.

But enough about the roof do you see that view? We are looking out across St.Paul's Dome and in the back you can see the London Eye. Luckily it was a lovely day - clear and hot. Up on the roof in the The City. Thanks for the tour.
