Reception and banqueting areas are available adjacent to all these facilities.
A unique feature of the Barbican is the spectacular Conservatory. This exotic roof-top atrium is a lush oasis that is home to finches, quails koi and over 2,000 species of tropical plants and trees. Overlooking this magical setting, and with views of St Giles Crippegate and the fountains of the Lakeside Terrace, is the elegant Garden Room.

They can also be used in conjunction with Barbican performances, offering unique opportunities for corporate entertaining.
