Forum Voices

Some people are disappointed with the restrictions at certain terraces. For example, one person said:

What about Crossrail Place in Canary Wharf, doesn’t count? Otherwise there are plenty of other roof terraces which are bars/restaurants. Typically more enjoyable as you don’t have to book tickets and you get to enjoy a drink.

Others are concerned about privacy issues, as seen in the case of the Tate Modern:

The Supreme Court commented that the degree of overlooking from visitors to the Tate gallery was so extreme it subjected the residents to being “much like being on display in a zoo” and held that there is no reason why constant visual intrusion cannot give rise to liability for nuisance.
