The Barbican Centre a personal view! I would like to share my personal experience at the Barbican Centre. I live in London, and my closest multicultural arts centre is Southbank, so, to be quite honest, I tend to go there more often. However, recently I have been visiting the Barbican Centre more frequently, in various ways, from visiting the conservatory, to attending concerts with my family, and taking part in guided tours through the Barbican Estate. We have experienced many different activities there. I was curious to know more about this interesting place in London because, quite honestly, I am not very fond of Brutalist architecture. I don’t naturally connect with its harsh lines and concrete buildings. Nevertheless, I was really interested in learning more about it. I must say that the guided tour is exceptional, very enlightening indeed. The centre offers an incredible variety of activities. We particularly enjoyed the concerts. I love the Conservatory, although I feel it really needs some attention, and as the guide mentioned, it will soon close for refurbishment, which I personally think is very much needed. It is a beautiful place, but it has the potential to be even better. Overall, our experience at the Barbican Centre has been outstanding. Thank you for giving us the chance to experience so much joy and culture. The Baker Family

What can I say! This brutalist masterpiece is pretty much my favourite place in London. So much to see. Great arts centre I love the art gallery and the library and the conservatory is well worth a visit but be sure to check out the opening times. Great place for a photo safari too!

The Barbican is a sprawling residential and commercial district built in a grand brutalist style, both imposing and strangely beautiful. Recognized by Queen Elizabeth II as a unique and important development, it’s truly surreal to walk around and explore its maze-like walkways and concrete grandeur. I admit, I visited while tracking down filming locations from the Star Wars series Andor (and it’s also home to the London Symphony Orchestra, known for performing the Star Wars soundtracks!). The history and design of development itself are fascinating. Highly recommended for fans of architecture, urban planning, and Star Wars alike!

World famous centre for the performing arts in the heart of London. Despite the scale of the Barbican Centre it maintains an air of casual and informal acceptance of all who take the time to visit and share in the joy of the performances on offer. The staff are as passionate as the visiting fans and are part of the overall experience.
