Barbican Centre

A gorgeous building and area, an example of what an estate can be in its splendour rather than squalor! The staff have always seems exceptionally nice and polite. Fantastic acoustics and just a really nice atmosphere. Almost like stepping into another world.

One of my favourite spaces to visit. The architecture is great and steeped in post war history. The library is worth a visit and the exhibitions are always 10/10. A brutalist national treasure.

Excellent place to spend weekend with your loved one, lots of activities going on
Theatre, cinema, exhibitions, as well as free activities.
This weekend we watched the party there it was brilliant.
Also you have chance to get good food.

Great venue for concerts. Tiered seating on circle offers good view looking down onto stage. Sound travels well. Been to two concerts

A truly wonderful piece of Brutalist architecture. Beautiful and calm courtyard with water features, excellent place to relax for a cup of coffee from the cafe. The architecture tour is a must if you're into architecture but not familiar with the circulation through the estate.

The locked theatre doors, the lack of any comfortable bar area. feels like train station / airport waiting lounge. For a theatrical experience it's a grim start.

Always a great place to spend some time walking through its maze of corridors, or enjoy a show in one of the auditoriums. Interesting architecture, and on Sundays it's possible to visit the beautiful conservatory.

My wife and I have been to the Barbican twice very recently to see Obsession and hear Glass/Anderson. Both were wonderful left-field major events that one expects from this venue. Both visits, however, were hugely spoilt by our visits to the disgusting lavatories. The squalor of the ladies further compounded by the inevitable queue snaking up the stairs. Management should not allow third class facilities to cast a stench over first class events. I should mention that the loos at this venue have been bad for years but they they are now reaching new lows

I adore every little nook and cranny of the Barbican from it's iconic brutalist concrete architecture to the myriad of cultural events that it hosts. In the past I have attended cosplay events, watched movies in a comfortable cinema, dined, shopped and accumulated a mass of unforgettable experiences strolling around exhibitions or just sitting peacefully with friends. Joy.
