City Corporation Policy Chairman, Chris Hayward, said: 'The Barbican Centre is a fantastic international venue with an exciting future. This funding underlines our support, recognising its unique role as a leading cultural institution and driver of economic growth, contributing £86 million a year to the UK economy and supporting around than 1,100 jobs across London.'
The Barbican Centre will launch a major fundraising campaign in 2025 to raise the rest of the money needed for the upgrades. This campaign will enable the complete refurbishment of key public spaces at the venue, including upgrades to its brutalist foyers, lakeside terrace, and conservatory - the largest glasshouse in central London.
