Barbican Complex, August 2025.

The Barbican Complex was built between 1965 and 1976 on a plot of 14ha in downtown London, heavily damaged by WW2. Designed by Chamberlin, Powell and Bon architecture company, The Barbican was never council housing in the conventional sense, since flats were targeted at professionals and let at higher rents, for prices similar to equivalent private homes in Central London. Barbican is a prominent example of British brutalist architecture and is Grade II listed since 2001.
