The Barbican and writer Chris Rogers will be putting on an architectural walk around the Square Mile to look at some of London's best brutalist buildings.
Amongst the City of London's glass skyscrapers and old stone facades are some buildings executed in a very different material: concrete. This tour will take a fresh look at these often overlooked structures, revealing some of the subtle variety present in this controversial architectural movement.
Note: The walk will begin at the Barbican Shop on Level G.

Craig’s review of Big Bus Tours I haven't been to London for months and when I returned to the city today there were skyscrapers up that were still stone stumps six months ago. There were statues of people who weren't even dead last September. There were pigeons I'd never met before, new cycle lines all ov… continued
Craig’s review of TRS boat trip There's definitely something wrong with the sun today. It's so bright and white it's sucked all the colours from the sky. People are fanning the air with whatever they've got: hats, hands, bags and magazines, but I've decided I'm going on the top deck of a boat for a better… continued

Well now you can avoid all of that drama by going on a London Duck Tour instead, because it combines a bus and a… continued
Craig’s review of Jason's Canal Trip Jason's Trip run a boat between Little Venice and Camden Lock. It's one of those narrow boats (houseboats with the sides missing) that retirees take waterway holidays on: low enough to float under the branches, slow enough not to disturb the ducks, and painted like one of th… continued
