About

Cripplegate ward lies in the northwest of the City of London, primarily defined by its modern commercial architecture and significant historical layers. The area is dominated by the Barbican Estate, a vast residential and arts complex of concrete towers and terraces built in the post-war period. Its street plan still follows many medieval lanes, with London Wall forming a notable southern boundary and evidence of the Roman fort wall occasionally visible. The ward contains several livery company halls and the church of St Giles-without-Cripplegate, which survived the Great Fire.

The ward is a key financial and residential district, containing office towers for firms in insurance and finance. The Barbican Centre provides a major cultural focus with its concert hall, theatres, and art gallery. Open space is found in the elevated walkways and gardens within the Barbican's complex layout. The area's unique character stems from this juxtaposition of the fortified, inward-looking Barbican estate against the open plazas and modern office blocks of the wider City.
