City (of London) solicitor's firm Eversheds play cricket "high up above the City on the 1650 sq m roof" near St Paul's Cathedral. The building's green roof is "covered with plants in a bid to help the firm achieve its environmental targets".

Wow, could we see an inter-company tournament played across City roofs and could pedestrians below be 'hit for six'!

Me too. The 13th hole overlooks the whole town. A well hit driver can just about reach the main road.

It must be some feat carrying a driver around whilst cycling on a sunday morning. And where do you keep the ball under all that lycra?
