amazing to find such a church surrounded by all the brutalist architecture of the barbican centre
Beautiful church, fascinating history, great acoustic for singing in.
It is a beautiful church
I love the structure, the stained glass and the details they have preserved.
the history of the place is incredible
a place to visit without a doubt.
They also do a lot to promote culture with the locals.

A very hidden Church, inside the Barbican development, is a Gothic new refurbished Church and one of the few Medieval churches remained. Strongly recommend it
It's a glorious church tucked into the heart of the Barbican, and a brilliant venue for classical concerts. Word of warning though, there's no toilets so you have to go to the Barbican over the walkway.
The church itself is rather shabby. Just a protestant prayer house, mostly devoid of beauty. But it is worth visiting for one thing - the magnificent stained glass with various saints. It contains a beautiful image of St Anselm of Canterbury wearing green vestments and a hare by his feet. I love St Anselm and this is one of the most charming images of this Doctor of the Church I have seen. So, visit the church and enjoy the magnificent stained glass window.
Mainly know it as my local polling station and once for a classical concert from the local school.
Nice building and surrounded by old headstones etc dug up when the Barbican estate was being built.
Interesting stained glass window on West end showing the modern City of London skyline a few years back with No 42 or the old Nat West Tower as it was known before, being most recognisable
