Barbican Centre London: what's on

The concrete arts centre in the middle of the Barbican Estate, home of the London Symphony Orchestra, with a concert hall, a theatre, three cinemas, an art gallery and the conservatory under one roof. The foyers are open to anyone all day and most of the evening, and people work, eat and wait in them whether or not they have a ticket. The main entrance is on Silk Street, and the walkways from Barbican and Moorgate stations take some learning on a first visit.
