green leaf plant

Deep inside the brutalist concrete complex of the Barbican center lies one of my favourite botanical retreats in London to come and explore and to cleanse away all traces of urban life. The Barbican conservatory is a tropical home to fish and over 2,000 species of exotic plants and trees and one of London’s best natural oasis. This Adiantum capilus-veneris fern sits perfectly in a luscious green jungle. This place really does transport you from a cold January day in urban London to the far flung tropics.
