Up on the Roof: a Hydroponic City Farm, Kingdom Street, Paddington - 3rd September 2019

Word on the street is that there's a hydroponic farm up on the roof of the 2 Kingdom Street office block in Paddington - Nosher's office when in London. And so a small work trip is arranged to see what's up. But first, the BSCC is off to Star Wing Brewery tap room in Redgrave for a Thursday evening ride.
