    "The Barbicanlabyrinth" It is a standing joke among the Londoners, that have you first dared to go in to the Barbicancomplex, youú never find you way out again. The different parts of the complex is connected with a labyrinth of tunnels,footbridges and stairs, where you can easily lose your way. To help you on your way they have now paintet yellow stripes in these paths, wich sooner or later should guide you forward to the Barbican Centre (The culturecentre). You can olso use the church St. Giles in Cipplegate as a bearinsmark. The bombardments during the second World War, wich destroyed the district with the ground, only tore off the roof of thechurch (restored in 1952-6O). St. Giles is from the Tudortime and is surrouned by water on a little island in the middle of Barbicans concreteocean.
