The Garden At 120 – 27th September 2025
The Wikipedia entry for Fen Court has this section, which has a brief description of The Garden At 120.
In 2019, a mixed use building of 15 storeys built by Generali Real Estate with Eric Parry Architects, called One Fen Court or 120 Fenchurch Street, opened alongside the east side of Fen Court. The building has a publicly accessible roof garden named The Garden at 120, and is 69 metres (226 ft) high. A pedestrian route parallel to Fen Court runs through an undercroft in One Fen Court, with a ceiling-mounted public artwork.
As the helpful man on the entrance to the Garden at 120, said that I could see the tower of All Hallows Staining, I went back today and took these pictures.
Note.
- The Shard, Guerkin and Walkie-Talkie can be easily identified.
- Canary Wharf, St. Paul’s Cathedral and the River Thames can be seen in the distance.
- Pictures 16-21 give views of the tower of All Hallows Staining.
I shall be taking more pictures as Fifty Fenchurch Street grows.
The Robert Hooke Biodiversity Bell
I passed this work by St. Paul’s Cathedral.
It is mentioned on many web sites, but it doesn’t seem to have a serious entry on the web. This blog gives a good explanation.
To me Robert Hooke is best known for Hooke’s Law, one of the basic laws of physics, that anybody who studied that subject will probably know. But Hooke did a lot more than find the law that bears his name.
He is one of those amazing characters that populate the history of science.
