The Ismaili Centre Roof Garden is one of London’s best-kept secrets. The serene setting of this beautiful and unusual garden reflects Islamic precedent, drawing from the traditions of a faith that has inspired outstanding buildings for many centuries throughout the world.
The sight and sound of running water, the play of light and shade, the array of plantings and the integration of interior and exterior space – all these serve as symbols to evoke a vision of paradise as garden, the ultimate point of the spiritual quest.

You’ll need to plan the weekend like a military campaign if you really want to see the highlights. I’m particularly interested in the roof garden of the Ismaili Centre, which I haven’t seen before (though I’ve been in the centre, a stunning modern building)
