The theatre, gallery and concert hall are all good, despite the hall being quite unsuitable for music. Good contemporary and classical concerts. I like the strangely isolating and eerie. feeling of wandering around the Barbican complex.

The foyers and public spaces are a bit of a disaster and feel like a cross between a community centre and an airport, people camped out, screaming down phones, having picnics, sleeping in the corners, taking classes etc. So there is nowhere to really sit and relax pre-entertainment and it's all a bit grim.
