The Barbican Centre’s picnic garden on the Lakeside Terrace is back for summer 2024 featuring new bench seating with built-in planters, a kiosk, and the all important view of the water!
The Lakeside Lounge will be open every day until 13 September, weather depending.
- Sunday – Wednesday 1pm – 8pm

The kiosk will serve soft drinks, snacks and ice-cream. Alcoholic drinks will be available from the inside Foyer bar or using QR codes on the tables.
Until 18 August, you'll also get a great view of the artwork Purple Hibiscus by Ibrahim Mahama, enveloping the building’s iconic concrete walls with approximately 2000 square metres of bespoke woven cloth.
