Elegant terrace garden in Knightsbridge
By London garden designer Charlotte Rowe. The owner of this Knightsbridge property had a really good space of around 70 square metres outside her drawing room which although at ground level and with access to a community garden, was constructed on top of her kitchen and her neighbour's apartment. Therefore, to all intents and purposes it is a roof terrace.
