Love the brutalist architecture. I always wanted to see this place. Didn't disappoint. Even though this is concrete, it is just a well thought out place for people to come together on a large scale, whether it's simply living or having time out and relaxing. It was a great place to visit. The central area with gardens is a must-see.
Wonderful venue, the hall was massive, yet you could get a great experience listening to music. Nice facilities for food with a beautiful outdoor space where you can enjoy the cityscape of central London if the weather is kind enough.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Brilliant venue. The Barbican looks awful from the outside but inside is fantastic. So spacious. The theatre is excellent, lots of space even when full. Kiss me Kate was superb!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
An absolutely beautiful place! I came here for the first time for my graduation ceremony and I loved it, the way the graduation ceremony works inside is very straightforward and there is staff everywhere to assist, I found it very easy to navigate and had such a fantastic time. On Tuesday when I came it was 30°c and sunny! Was so lovely seeing the Barbican Centre in the sunshine, I love the brutalist architecture and how well maintained the grounds is, the different areas you can visit are so relaxing, I love the parts near the water as it’s just so gorgeous and the water looks lovely. I will definitely be coming here again for different events and even just to sit by the water, the brutalist style waterfall was beautiful to look at too, who would’ve thought those 1970s buildings could look so pretty?
Made the last outside cinema showing of the season. 3 varied food vendors and very lush green garden at bar area before the main event. Not a great choice is good and not cheap but ok to fill a gap or wet your pipe. Nice banqueting seats but regulars bought cushions and blankets. Get there early to avoid missing crisps at bar and better seats. Some reserved seats for members I think. The wireless headphones worked well and friendly service from all staff right to the end... inducing good directing to find the way out as we excited a different way to the entrance. Deffo worth a visit and revisit.
Well, I believe these must be the most expensive council houses in London and the entire UK. It’s a very odd and interesting place at the same time. It reminds me of USSR architecture—strong, bold, and brutal Obviously a must-visit place. P.S. The Chris Botti concert was terrific!
I didn't know there was such a place in London. At first the architecture scared me, it reminds me a bit of the architecture of eastern countries. The longer I was here and explored the surroundings, the more the atmosphere of the place absorbed me. The complex, where everything is together, schools, theater, cafes, luxury housing is special, interesting. Like a city within a city. It's worth seeing.
Awesome to see a show here, no bad seats. Good facilities. If you’re a Banksy fan there’s a protected piece just around the corner!Visited onWeekday
Dystopian and yet so fascinating. Brutalist architecture set to move you to a jungle of concrete and vegetation. Feels miles away from London chaos. A refugee on the city and yet so much to see and do there.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
I do love attending various concerts and events here, so much so that I now hold annual membership. Attended the opening to LFG London Jazz Festival and saw the spectacular Anouar Brahem, Tunisian Oud composer, a fusion of Arabic, folk and jazz. The Barbican Centre is showing a little wear & tear over the years and some areas do require a bit of a refurb. The toilet system is weird. You either join the standing urinal queue or sit down cubicles queue LOL. So you find men and women queuing together with pink posh soap and dried flowers in glass bowls. But if a man wants to relieve his colon, there is no other facility other than the ladies side! It’s poorly thought out and I felt very awkward myself using the restroom with a huge bearded man in front of me waiting. The bar is a little over priced but quick to serve. There are eateries which serve good quality food but usually by reservation and we never get time to eat leisurely ahead of their early 7pm show start times. I enjoy the BC and all it has to offer, and will keep returning!
