Visiting the Barbican Conservatory (Photo Essay)

Help me be a blogger with LATAM's Destination Latin America explorer search! Vote here until Feb. 22, 2016.

Another item checked off of this list of 101 Free Things to Do in London: the Barbican Conservatory! Hidden away in a hall off the center of the Barbican Centre is a very green, warm oasis of tropical plants and koi ponds enclosed in a greenhouse. It very much feels like it used to be the outside of a building complex and someone decided to slap a greenhouse on the side of it.

The day we visited the Barbican Conservatory, the weather was actually rather warm outside — close to 60F — so the warm wonderfulness of finding a temperature-controlled greenhouse in the middle of the City of London in January wasn't quite as novel as it could'a/should'a been. If the weather snaps again though, and it's a Sunday (it's only open on Sundays), and I'm nearby, and I don't have to make a special trip outside of my warm and cozy blanket nest... I'll maybe visit again.
