Walking Tour: Barbican Rising

Join John Grindrod, author of Iconicon and Concretopia, on a walk around the Barbican. Exclusively for Faber Members.

When the area around St Paul's in the City of London was razed in the blitz, plans slowly emerged for ambitious rebuilding: the Golden Lane estate, the Barbican, and a new raised walkway system above the ancient London Wall. Join John Grindrod, author of Iconicon and historian of modern places, on a fascinating walk around one of the world's most celebrated Brutalist architectural estates and its surroundings, to help recapture some of the excitement and optimism of London's Cold War-era masterpiece.

The duration of the event will be approximately two hours. Sign up here.
