Barbican Estate - Speed Highwalk

Speed Highwalk is one of the public rights of way through the Barbican Estate, a brutalist residential and leisure development in the City of London. Designed by architects Chamberlin, Powell and Bon and built between 1965-76.

 

The tower block in the background is Shakespeare Tower, one of the three 42-storey blocks in the Barbican.

 

In the middle, semicircular windows mark the roofline of Frobisher Crescent.

 

And on the left, the Barbican Conservatory - a horticultural glasshouse.
