Underpass
A visit to London’s Barbican inevitably leads you to its underbelly. This is the Beech Street underpass, which carries traffic and pedestrians beneath the 1960s and 70s housing complex – and to the Barbican arts centre.
It’s quite long and the ceiling is criss-crossed with mesmerising lights which set a silvery trail. Lines stretch ahead of you to the daylight at the end, which streams into the low-lit tunnel. Like the concrete jungle above your head, this is a photogenic, interesting city sight.

I went there last year and got totally lost – kept going round in circles and getting nowhere. This time round, however, I had Richard G as an expert guide and that worked perfectly! :)
