Information: Fen Court Roof Gardens in the City. From their web site: "The Garden at 120 stretches across the rooftop with wisteria, roses, hydrangeas and a long water feature, framing views to the Thames, Tower Bridge and The City's towers ... Free to visit all year round, no booking needed.". There is a café there but by all accounts it is very expensive, so it is likely we will explore nearby Leadenhall Market for food. About 25 miles, any bike.
