	Kensington Roof Gardens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kensington Roof Gardens (formerly known as Derry and Toms Roof Gardens) is a roof garden covering 6,000 m² (1.5 acres) of the top of the Derry and Toms building on Kensington High Street, in central London, near Kensington Gardens.
		The gardens were laid out between 1936 and 1938 by Ralph Hancock, a landscape architect, on the instructions of Trevor Bowen (then vice-president of Barkers, the Kensington department store giant that owned the site and had constructed the building in 1932).
		The gardens are not very widely known because they are not a tourist attraction, but are run as a restaurant and nightclub.

	Roof garden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A roof garden is any garden on the roof of a building.
		The garden may be on the roof of an autonomous building which takes care of its own water and waste.
		The related idea of a living machine is based on the most basic mode of gardening: dumping wastes (compost and sewage, appropriately broken down, usually in some specialized ditch or container) on the soil, and harvesting food which, when processed, generates compost, and when eaten, generates sewage.

	Urban Ecology Australia - Roof Gardens
		Roof gardens, located on the tops of buildings, go some way to restoring to nature an equivalent amount of biodiversity-bearing soil and growing area to the land covered by the building.
		Roof gardens provide good insulation, protecting apartments or offices below from the hot sunlight striking the building from above in summer, and keeping warmth rising from below from escaping.
		The main challenge of rooftop gardening is exposure to the elements.

		Kensington Roof Gardens, located in 1.5 acres of space one hundred feet above ground level, on top of the former Derry & Toms department store on Kensington High Street, has been remodelled by Kracka design consultants to give club owners Virgin Hotels, increased operational flexibility.

		Babylon at the Kensington Roof Gardens is unusual in that it could be recommended both as a venue for a party (albeit a low-key one) and a romantic tete a tete.
		Apparently some of the produce is home-grown at the gardens, and one can certainly believe it from the freshness of the vegetables.
		A Step Road Shiraz was the perfect accompaniment to a fondant rump of lamb which had been roasted with fennel and cumin seeds, and across the table my companion was delighted with red wine-braised beef, matched with parsnip mash.
