I doubt any organisation owning said window and roof would let you – a private homeowner would be a better bet.
My boarding school had a bunch of roofs like that, which I understand now have bars across the windows to stop people hanging out on the roof.
Yes, the old hotels in and around Paddington. Several have rooms with these windows. I stayed in one called Rose Court years back and sat outside a couple of times. Not sure if they knew but they didn’t mention it.
Almost certainly not, unless you are prepared to pay a few hundred pounds for the privilege, as sitting on the roof tiles like that will most likely break them.
technically, yes. easily, no
Someone’s looking for Neverwhere.
I don’t blame them. It feels like a lovely place.
Half the people who live on Dalston Kingsland High Road do this during the summer!
It’s very common around here IF you have a place on the second/third floors.
Chim-chimeny-chin-chimeny-chim-chin-charoo!!!
If you’re handy with a lock pick and disabling electronic alarms then yes. But it doesn’t even look comfortable. When I lived on Chiswick High Road our house had a flat roof and we did a few barbecues there. Not that enjoyable tbh, it was just for the novelty value.
Book a free slot at the Sky Garden for some nice views and a relaxing atmosphere
Health and safety would have a field day
My friends lived in a student flat that looked like this. But we’d be on the roof smoking rather than reading a nice book. One house party someone fell through the roof, and once that was resolved all the flats got locked bars on the windows. Spoil sports.
West Brompton onto Earls Court Has these flats
I doubt. No any public place at least. It’s due to health and safety rules.
