at a gate or drawbridge. Visitors to the Barbican Centre sometimes feel that the name itself must have influenced the architects: despite signposts, arrows and yellow lines, it can be frustratingly difficult to access. Visitors are advised to plan the
ir arrival twenty minutes ahead of schedule so that they can negotiate the right entrance.
