THE ROOF GARDENS
The Roof Gardens is a social club in the sky, 100 feet above the streets of Kensington.

People have come together, the curious, creative, riotous, radical and respected alike. Every chapter scatters their seeds in the soil; we are merely the latest gardeners in its ongoing story.
Created for season-by-season, morning-to-moonlight experiences. Al fresco Italian in the Walled Garden, vibrant, healthy twists on club classics in the Sun Pavilion, live performances and cosy cabanas in the Spanish Garden and late-night revelry in our den of decadence, the Biba Bar. Curated talks, debates, supper clubs and ******** celebrations in Esme's private villa. The Roof Gardens’ community is united by open-mindedness, optimism and kindness, not defined by background.
