Barbican Centre

You'll get as lost in the astounding program as you will in the labyrinthine brutalist building. Home to the London Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Barbican Centre is the City's premier cultural venue. It hosts concerts, theater and dance performances, and screens indie films and Hollywood blockbusters at the cinema on Beech St.
