One of London's hidden gems ; it is the second largest botanical garden (after Kew Gardens ) in London and its free! It is the home to 2000 species of tropical plants and trees all under a glass roof

Fred Paxton

Tropical jungle nestled inside the love-it-or-hate-it concrete wonder of the Barbican estate. Tropical birds, terrapins, this place is truly one of a kind. Open most Sundays, check the website first.

Darius Groza

Pretty great place to sweat among plants, the one day of the week you're allowed to visit. No really, it's great. Plus, the brutalist area of Barbican needs some sort of life form to decorate it.

Nick Black

An abundance of green plants and colourful flowers amidst the brutalist architecture of the Barbican. Open one Sunday per month. Great for kids.

Erin B

Must see green space in the heart of London. Fantastic cacti & succulent collection on the uppermost floors.

Beautiful piece of respite from the City . You wouldn't think this was in the Barbican!

Jennifer Bin

What a beautiful place! Too bad the hours are so limited. A must visit if you’re in London

Beautiful. Come here to get nice planty couple photos on a date.

Simon Burnett

go in late afternoon on a weekday... the place is deserted, it's really strange, feels like you're in a strange, overgrown, 1960's vision of the future

Sam Duffy

Super place to come on a cold wet bank holiday
