Barbican Conservatory
Perhaps there are no better places to escape London for a bit of tropical serenity than the Barbican Conservatory. The Barbican Conservatory is the second largest conservatory in London, located at the Barbican Centre. It houses more than 2,000 species of plants and trees, as well as terrapins and koi carp. The conservatory covers 23,000 square feet and is located on top of the theatre's fly tower.
You’re in the Barbican, and you definitely aren’t allowed to dip your toes into the fish pond. In the maze of this brutalist masterpiece, the Barbican Centre’s conservatory is a hidden oasis. Filled with species of exotic plants that tumble over the concrete balustrades, it’s made all the more brilliant by how unexpected it is. Visitors can enjoy the unique atmosphere of the Conservatory safely. There is seating for visitors and activities such as sketching, picnicking, and photography is recommended to be avoided. You should spend 20 minutes on your visit. The Conservatory is open on selected days every week, admission is free.
