What an amazing place. The sound is clear and there is a good view even from farther seats. The tickets are affordable and there are café 's inside the complex. Had a great evening there.
Great theatre , really comfortable seats . For those who find walking difficult go for rows R or S in the stalls, as basically no steps used.
Watched Hamlet back in 2015 and I remember really loving this theatre ! The sounds travelled well around the room, and the overall ambience felt very grand.
I love this place. Mainly because of Benedict Cumberbatch playing here.
Good seating, legroom, even the queues for the ladies are ok--so much more comfortable than most West-end venues.
One of my favourites. Sound is incredibly good and the cheap seats offer a good view
Vulcano Choir was a great! The Barbican puts on very good shows, concerts and theatre pieces.
With three eateries to choose from and a plethora of different work spaces, The Barbican ticks all the boxes. Read more
Big cinemas , slightly cheaper tickets that other cinemas ... comfy seats !
Love this place but crikey the prices are out of control. £8.50 for really repugnant Sauv Blanc. £11.50 for three very average cold salads . Quite cheeky really.
Amazing Theatre ... wish there was more leg room though.
See if you have time for a backstage tour (for a small fee)
Get day seat tickets for 10GBP. Come at least 45min before box office opens
You can enter via Silk Street and skip the Barbican faff altogether.
Salted caramel ice cream at the interval
Very nice theatre ..
Be sure to check out the record breaking urinal. Nothing quite like seeing 25 men side by side peeing
Good views from everywhere
Very impressive theatre
Best theatre in London if you like creative international diverse performance
Concrete windowless walls thicker than Hitler's bunker, so don't expect a mobile signal inside.
Free wifi here, just sign up to The Cloud :-)

One of my favourite places to see live music - so much atmosphere - Justin
The Food Hall serves excellent hot meals for a very good price for this part of London. Generous portions! - Tom Bisely
Three good hot meals daily (eg fish cakes, Thai red curry & sausage & mash) plus great sandwiches, salads and cake. Members get a discount. Free tap water jugs. - Alexandra Goldstein
Go for the closer rows in stalls, because it can get claustrophobic with more remote options - Fresh
If you are on a budget but don't want to miss on a play on this fantastic theatre, ask about the standing option (5 pounds). The scenography is incredible. Nice to hang out before and after plays. - Maria Ines Guaia Keeble
Such a great theatre! I visited 3 times last year (Other desert cities/ The crucible/ Electra) and I can't wait to visit again :) - Helen T
Wonderfully atmospheric space for concerts (great programme of events) or just relaxing - Justin
Go for the game, anything from the rotisserie, or the pork. Always top quality. - Chris Shucksmith
