About

Cultural venue with concert hall, theatres, cinema, galleries and home of London Symphony Orchestra.

The Barbican Centre is one of Europe's largest and most respected multidisciplinary arts centers, embedded within the Brutalist residential complex designed by Chamberlin, Powell and Bon — the most ambitious residential architectural project in British history. The concert hall, theaters, cinema, gallery, and conservatory create an extraordinary cultural ecosystem, and the building itself is a work of architectural significance. A destination for music, theater, and visual art at the highest level, in a complex that is as important as what it contains.
