"Sydney’s Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Paddington Reservoir Gardens is a bold blend of old and new. This heritage-listed site maintains much of the reservoir’s original structure, framing boardwalks, lawns, shaded side chambers, and central pools. It’s set over two levels, with a grassy rooftop area above and sun-drenched courtyard below. The hit of nature teamed with original brick arches and salvaged timber and iron fixtures makes for an atmospheric marriage, and you’ll often see fashion shoots taking place amid the romantic, plant-draped ruins. Street art adds to the evocative mood, and it’s particularly seductive at sunset." - Sophie Davies
