London's favourite garden in the sky has finally made its return, but only for members.
In 1981, Richard Branson took a garden in the sky, and made it all his own.
Did he transform it into a secret hub to research travel through time and space? No.
Did he acquire the space for Virgin's leafiest broadband line yet? No.
Did he turn it in to a rooftop restaurant, bar and events space worthy of some of London's most sought after parties?
You bet he did.
And while the roof gardens saw major success in their 37-year ownership under the Virgin brand, 2018 saw Branson take a step away from flamingos and foliage, leaving the sky-high space to simmer.
When will The Roof Gardens in London be reopening?
Stephen Fitzpatrick (of Ovo Energy) has now reopened The Roof Gardens as a private members club as of July 2024. Which can be applied for on their website.
The club, once visited by both Madonna and Princess Diana, has been given a license to open until 3am. While the club itself can host up to 600 people, the capacity has not been allowed to exceed more than 450 by 1:30am.
How much is the membership at The Roof Gardens?
Membership for under 32s starts from £58 per month, with a regular member ship from £208 per month.
