Latest reviews | Events in Barbican
Vivienne Westwood, the celebrated fashion designer, has said that watching a concert or play at the Barbican Centre is like being "in heaven". The Barbican buildings, a vast concrete complex of "brutalist" architecture, may not look particularly heavenly, but the variety and quality of cultural events on offer here - music, theatre, dance, film, art and education - make this the largest multi-arts centre in Europe and arguably the finest in the world. The centre, with its halls, theatres, galleries and state-of-the-art cinemas, forms part of an ambitious building project also incorporating residential tower blocks. It's located in the City of London in an area once inhabited by thieves, ruffians, mavericks and literary figures including William Shakespeare and Ben Johnson. The district only just survived the Great Plague and the Great Fire but it was finally flattened by World War II bombers, leaving a wasteland from which rose the Barbican, with the arts centre opened by the Queen in 1982. The only pre-War building on the site is the church of St Giles, Cripplegate. Constructed in 1550, it hosted the wedding of Oliver Cromwell and the burial of poet John Milton. Nearby, the purpose-built Museum of London is enduringly popular.
