The Garden Barges at Tower Bridge are floating homes with gardens on the rooftops and gangways, and if you haven’t yet visited you should do so this year – the planting is looking gorgeous! Over the past year gardener Sophie Tatzkow has done a wonderful job and I look forward to seeing more of her plantings.

The ‘Long Borders’ are flourishing –

Erysimum E A Bowles & Foxgloves

Phlomis

PInk, scented jasmine

The side alleyways are equally beautiful and lush –

Do visit – just remember these are people’s homes.
