Barbican Arts Centre
Silk Street, London EC2

The Barbican Arts Centre includes two theatres, a concert hall, and a convention and an exhibition hall.  It is the home of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.  

The Barbican Theatre is used for conventional productions, while the Pit concentrates on experimental works. 

Until May 2002 the Barbican Centre was the London base of the Royal Shakespeare Company, but is still the base of the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) and the English Chamber Orchestra. 

The English National Opera makes visits and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra has a spring season.  

There are also free music concerts in the foyer. 

The Barbican Centre is difficult to find your way around, but its quality events programme makes it worth the effort.
