Not exactly a forest
The Barbican's ratio of trees to people or trees to bricks must be very small on anyone's scale.

The private part of the Barbican Centre courtyard
The courtyard from this point onward is privately owned. The blossom is certainly blooming early - could spring really be in the air? It certainly provides a colourful contrast to the dull grey (but interesting) 1960s architecture around the Barbican Centre! Looking south-southeast.

Artificial waterfall in the Barbican Centre courtyard
I had to zoom in on this as the courtyard from this point onwards is private property. Looking east-southeast.

The brown brick building is the school, or part of it. This part of the pool is to the east of the Gilbert's Bridge walkway.

City of London Girl's School
My mother, being a very practical sort of person, asked where the girls would play. Perhaps a fellow Geograph Hunter might help.

Murals, Barbican (1)
Nine murals by Dorothy Annan commissioned by the Ministry of Works in 1960 for the Fleet Building on Farringdon Street (Image]). To tie in with the building's function as a telephone exchange, each mural, each of which is composed of forty ceramic panels, represents an aspect of telecommunications. The nearest alludes to radio communications and television, its neighbour cables and communications in buildings. Grade II listed.
As the Fleet Building is being demolished, a campaign led by the Twentieth Century Society led to them recently being re-sited here, a fitting location for an evocative slice of the 1960s.

Murals, Barbican (2)

To tie in with the building's function as a telephone exchange, each mural, each of which is composed of forty ceramic panels, represents an aspect of telecommunications. The nearest alludes to lines over the countryside, its neighbour impressions derived from the patterns produced in cathode ray oscillographs used in testing, and then power and generators. Grade II listed.
