London's giant Walkie Talkie skyscraper and tower will be topped by a tropical “floating” roof garden, it has the potential to be the tallest in Europe

.

The property owners  of the the 580 ft high skyscraper are, due to open in just under a year’s time, are using the landscapers behind the award winning Olympic Park to install more than 2000 sub-tropical varieties. .

The terraced “hanging gardens of modern Babylon” will be dominated by drought resistant Mediterranean and South African flowers, shrubs and ferns because of the “greenhouse effect” of the domed glass summit of the 38 storey block on Fenchurch Street.

Stephen Richards, a partner at London based garden designers Gillespies, said: ”The gardens will be totally unique in London, the largest and most exciting of their kind. It will like being in an eyrie.

“There will be a series of platforms where there will be seating so you will be able to immerse yourself in plants and colour while still being aware that you are very high up to get that sense of a floating garden.”
