Discover the vast, bold and brutal Barbican estate on our 90 minute Architecture Tours, then enjoy a post-tour tipple in our Martini Bar. 

Led by our expert guides, the Architecture + Cocktail Tour takes you across the Barbican Centre and surrounding Brutalist estate, ending with a cocktail at our newly refurbished Martini Bar.

You’ll explore the site’s little-known nooks and crannies, venturing through criss-crossing highwalks, leafy courts and sweeping crescents, with plenty of stops along the way, including:

  • Our tranquil Lakeside Terrace
  • The striking form of the Sculpture Court
  • The trio of soaring residential towers
  • Ruins along the original London Wall
  • And more…

You’ll learn about the vision and ambition behind the design, and gain an insight into its the past, present and future.

After you’ve experienced the iconic views of the Barbican, you can enjoy a post-tour tipple in the Martini Bar. Gaze over the Barbican Lakeside with a classic Martini or cocktail of your choice.
