The Barbican Centre is a unique venue in London and if you can get tickets for the theatre, the trip will be more memorable. The theatre is big and can hold a lot of people. Food and drink as you would expect is expensive. There is plenty of space outside of the theatre to move around so you don't feel cramped in. The one thing that lets the place down is the toilets. They are very outdated and cannot accommodate the number of people who need to use them. The queues can last for the entirety of the intermission. Apart from that, it was a great night out.

I can't believe it took me six years to finally visit the BARBICAN CENTRE! I missed out on six years of potentially amazing evenings, but I'm thrilled I finally made it. When we stepped into the Barbican, I was immediately captivated by the atmosphere, and the bar was absolutely stunning. We arrived a bit early before our show to explore and enjoy a drink. The ambiance was truly fantastic.

Interesting space. An ode to Cement. Unexpectedly huge. A bit of a labyrinth. Lots of spaces of interest, from art exhibitions to theaters, to play areas to outside spaces, to food courts to coffee shops and not to forget the big conservatory (provided you go on a Sunday or on a Bank holiday). Certainly a place of interest, can easily spend the day in it. Although a bit gloomy with lots of dark colours (could do with some white colour) it is definitely worth a visit.

The choice of cultural programs are great. Location is good, however the available toilets are ridiculous. The queuing was so long for the loo I missed some of the concert. The acoustics in the hall is great with excellent atmosphere with always full house. Do something with the facilities please . John Williams debut was unmissable and great fun

I went for the My Neighbor Totoro performance. It was wonderful. I could easily hear everything, and I was able to see everything clearly. The seats were comfortable and I didn’t get as cold as I did like other theatres I’ve been to. The queues for the bathrooms were long (especially for the women). If it’s your first time there, I’d recommend going early to make sure you find your seat on time and get snacks or a drink before the performance you choose starts. It’s a bit of a maze at first!
