    The Barbican is the vision of the brave new world architects had Back in the 60s. Remarkable estate and a pretty good concert Hall, where I once marvelled with a rendition of the Messiah by the London Symphony and choir. Thank you

    Nice vid. This is going into my 'Gentle ASMR' playlist. I Used to visit The Barbican at least once a week when I lived over in Streatham (until 2014), to (among other things) spend time in the large library to sit in a quiet corner to read; the estate has such an interesting look about it and I enjoyed walking through the unusual layout and architecture to get to the library, especially from Moorgate station. I remember those great little spaces with seating, inside and outside The Barbican, and the surrounding estate, where you can just relax for a few hours, maybe while having a bite to eat.
    I used to travel up there mainly on a weekend, grab a coffee and something to munch from around the corner if I wasn't going to sit in the library, and find a comfortable area and sit there for a few hours either reading or studying (often surrounded by a few others doing the same). It's such a nice atmosphere around there. I loved it so much that even when I was living in Hayes for a few years, I still used to travel down to The Barbican Estate, maybe once or twice a month at the weekend just to experience the vibe.
    Always found it really peaceful and like therapy; it was rarely overcrowed (aside from when big events where happening); I have to wonder if others were there to experience that serenity too.

    Ok so I’m kinda freaking out bc just recently I fell in love with folamour’s ordinary drugs album art, idk I was just obsessed with the colors, texture and overall vibe and I acheddddd wondering what building they were at when they shot the cover. But I also had this weird feeling that I would at some point in my life randomly come across that building on my own and then sure enough at 17:28!! I’m 99% sure that is the same building!! Lmao idk I know it’s not that crazy but me randomly finding that building in a random pov tour feels crazy to me 😭🙌 can someone tell me the name/address if that building??
