About

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.

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