There are over 12 miles of window boxes in the Barbican estate. The lease does not insist that window boxes be used, but it does require that if they are planted, that they should be kept cultivated. They cannot be removed, and any new additions must be of the standard type.
Around the corner to Barber Surgeons Garden the space opens up to a lake bordering the Barbican high rises.
There is an annual competition for the best kept window boxes, which are now Grade II listed.
