Fountain Row at Derry and Toms, Kensington High Street: A 1950s Roof Garden Oasis in Central London's Heart This photograph transports us back to the 1950s, showcasing the enchanting Fountain Row at Derry and Toms, situated on the roof garden of Kensington High Street in central London. Contrary to popular belief, this idyllic scene was not nestled within the grounds of a mansion in the countryside, but rather in the heart of the bustling city. The photograph reveals a vibrant community gathering, united by the soothing presence of the fountains. The lush, green roof garden provided a welcome respite from the urban landscape, offering a moment of tranquility and relaxation. The intricate design of the fountains, with their elegant arches and cascading water, added an air of sophistication and charm to the scene. The image also highlights the essential role of the community in maintaining this hidden gem. People are seen tending to the plants, ensuring the garden remained a beautiful and thriving space for all to enjoy. The communal spirit of the community is further emphasized by the diverse group of people gathered around the fountains, enjoying each other's company and the simple pleasure of being surrounded by nature. The Fountain Row at Derry and Toms served as a testament to the power of community and the importance of creating green spaces in urban environments.
