High-rise cultivators Bruce and Fi Robertson discovered their green fingers atop Willoughby House over the summer months and we’ve included lots of their sunny and colourful photos to cheer you up as the chill starts to bite. We’re lucky that Juliana Lottmann moved in before lockdown because she has enough energy and creative positivity to carry us along with her as she shares her new mindfulness project for a greater sense of togetherness in times of isolation. Always a magnetic pull is the history of how our Barbican Estate and surroundings have appeared in films and videos. Whenever I’m looking at a video online (habitually on the London Metropolitan Archives website), I have to keep a close eye on the temptation to keep consuming this rich content, or before I realise it the whole day has disappeared. Joanna Lyall digs into some of the major feature films which have used the Barbican as a location. No Yorkie bars here but Peter Savage still gets to pretend to be a lorry driver and share his cab-life experience in a demonstration run by Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd.’s Community Manager Laura Regan. Growing up in the Barbican, and now with her own blossoming business, Megan Anstee focuses on meaningful connections in a digital world and shares her top tips on how best to host and enjoy virtual events and festivities when we can’t be together. With the first online Barbican Association AGM now accomplished, we welcome our new Barbican Association team.

  • Call for Entries from Architects, Designers and Artists to Improve Culture Mile’S Pedestrian Experience Along Its North-South Route
    Call for entries from architects, designers and artists to improve Culture Mile’s pedestrian experience along its North-South route The City of London Corporation is delighted to announce a call for entries to improve wayfinding, walkability and the pedestrian experience along Culture Mile’s ‘North-South route’ between the Millennium Bridge and Barbican. The City of London Corporation is seeking an innovative design concept and proposal for the ‘Culture Mile North-South Route’, between the Millennium Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral, Aldersgate Street and St Martin’s-le-Grand, to be included as part of the Culture Mile 2019-2020 public programme. The City is looking for inspiring designs that will improve the wayfinding, walkability, appearance and vitality of this key thoroughfare, which links the Southbank to the Culture Mile area. This busy route incorporates entrances to several landmarks, such as St Paul’s Cathedral, the Museum of London and the Barbican estate. It includes the Barbican and St Paul’s underground stations, which collectively provide over 28 million passenger entrances/exits annually. We are inviting architects, designers and artists to submit a concept design that will elevate and enhance the look and feel of this area, providing visual cues, increased wayfinding and a deeper sense of connection between St Paul’s and Barbican underground stations. Following the shortlist of entries in July, the winning team will be revealed and commissioned to develop a fully costed, feasible design that can be installed in a section of the route, subject to planning permission and other relevant City authorisations. The design will remain in situ between Autumn 2019 and Spring 2020.
