About the prize
The Kensington Roof Gardens invites Members and Fellows of the Society to submit proposals for a curated outdoor sculpture exhibition set within one of London’s most celebrated elevated garden spaces. This special members’ showcase will present ambitious, outdoor sculptures in the extraordinary environment of the Roof Gardens.
Perched 100 feet above Kensington High Street, the Roof Gardens were created in 1936 by landscape architect Ralph Hancock, commissioned by the Derry & Toms department store.Covering 1.5 acres, they remain one of Europe’s largest and most imaginative roof gardens—an ambitious union of engineering, horticulture, and architectural fantasy.Now Grade II listed, the Roof Gardens have long been a site of innovation and cultural activity, evolving from their 1930s department-store origins to become one of London’s most extraordinary green spaces.
Please note only artworks that are already fully realised at the time of submission will be considered.
