What a treat to visit this place on a sunny day! This should be on every visitor to London's 'Must See' list - and every housing developers 'Must Include' list!

Such a wonderful place in the heart of the city.

Absolutely amazing architecture of the whole Barbican estate.

Barbican is an amazing dwelling project of the late 70ies. If you like brutalism architecture it is your place. The garden and public spaces are a quite oasis in buzzling London. Visit Barbican center for exhibitions, concerts etc

This is in my opinion the most mind blowing part of the barbican centre. The amazing way water is played with and included within the residential buildings is amazing! I love as well the contrast with the buildings and how the main theme around the complex is sustainability.. surely worth a visit

A great area to visit, walk around and observe the amazing architecture and enjoy the water features, plus book a visit to the conservatory which is almost an unknown tranquil haven in the centre of London.

Stunning and impressive water feature in the middle of one of the Brutalist developments more popular in London (The Barbican Centre). It is unbelievable how the water gardens completely transform the impression of the otherwise harsh architecture.
