St Giles' Cripplegate church, Barbican Centre
The Barbican is considerably underrated as a building in London – possibly because it is so difficult to find the entrance – and full of peaceful places to enjoy including the high walkways, the music library and the indoor tropical conservatory. Surviving both the great fire and the second world war, St Giles' Cripplegate is in the heart of the complex and is another calm spot in the city. The Barbican does get busy in the evenings, so try the lakeside terrace before work or even in the very early morning for some stark concrete loveliness, traffic-free and with few other people to disturb your still moment.
