Barbican Conservatory

Conservatory garden in City

London's second-biggest glasshouse, 1,500 species of jungle tucked onto level 3 of the Barbican. The real draw is the collision of brutalist concrete and tropical planting. Free, open only Friday evenings and weekends, and popular with photographers, so time it and expect company.

Go for the concrete-meets-jungle architecture as much as the plants. Arrive at opening to get ahead of the selfie crowd.
