The Barbican Estate

This section of Central London was completely devastated by The Blitz during World War II.  Redevelopment of the site finally commenced in 1965 and the 2000-unit Barbican Residential Estate came into being.  Many consider it a masterpiece of the Brutalist School of architecture.

St. Giles Cripplegate, medieval church dating from 1090, survived The Blitz,

preserved in the middle of the Barbican Estate.

Ruins of Roman walls which enclosed London around 200AD, 

preserved within the estate.
