Architecture Tours: New Perspectives

Discover the vast, bold and brutal Barbican estate on our 90 minute Architecture Tours.

From 17 May two households will be able to visit together in a group of up to six (subject to review).

Led by our expert guides, the tour takes you across the Barbican Centre and surrounding Brutalist estate. You’ll explore the site’s little-known nooks and crannies, venturing through criss-crossing highwalks, leafy courts and sweeping crescents, with plenty of stops along the way, including:
- Our tranquil Lakeside Terrace
- The striking form of the Sculpture Court
- The trio of soaring residential towers
- Ruins along the original London Wall
- And more…

You’ll learn about the vision and ambition behind the design, and gain insight into the past, present and future of the site.
