Barbican Penthouses

St Paul's at your feet

Some of the appeal of the penthouses is the unobstructed view across London. 'St. Paul's at your feet', as this brochure puts it.

View from the top

Some of the penthouses even have rooftop terraces.  The skyline is different these days, but it's still an impressive view.
