Barbican



This is the Barbican in the City of London. The Barbican is a residential estate built in the 60s and 70s. The complex also contains an arts centre with a range of theatre, music, art and film. Adjacent to the estate is the Museum of London, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the City of London school for girls.


You can walk through the centre and visit the cafe or sit by the water.

Today they had some props on show from the Royal Shakespeare Company. They were being used in an interactive display.








For a large residential estate, it always seems so quiet.

    I've only seen photos of the outside. By you? It is interesting to see the inner area. You can't go wrong with water.

    Interesting place to see, I like that courtyard with the water. Very quiet indeed.

    I have been close but never actually there. It does like quite a spooky place though. Don't quite know why.

    I'd start to watch out for zombies. Remember, they're attracted to noise ;)

    I knew that was York's skull the minute I saw it. :-)

    Looks interesting, I am not sure that I have seen it, but the name sounds so familiar.

    That Would be something to have an art exhibit right in your own apartment complex!

    The water is a nice feature for the residents who have a view of it. The Guthrie Theater here had a similar exhibit a couple years ago of props and also costumes used in some of their productions and I really enjoyed it.

    Your London Barbican is completely different from our Poish in Cracow...
