Possibly getting some more attention now because of some scenes from Andor 2 that were shot there: https://www.reddit.com/r/london/comments/1kb8k4u/lloyds_of_l...

Yep, and S1E7: https://moviemaps.org/episodes/9c8

I was reading this post and thinking, huh, this would be a good set for a Coruscant shot in Andor, and sure enough ...

The Scarif transport network scenes in Rogue One were shot at London's Canary Wharf Underground station, however.

The really amazing architecture of Coruscant is from the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia:

In particular, the Museo de las Ciencias Príncipe Felipe.

I didn't enjoy the city of arts and sciences tbh, it felt disconnected, artificial, maybe almost totalitarian in its will to show off. I also thought that, if you look past the immediate effect, it just didn't feel that good looking. A bit similar to how I often feel about Zaha Hadids work.

In comparison, in the barbican I felt like I could sit there for hours and enjoy the architecture. It has so many interesting details and aesthetically pleasing corners.

That and it's also in the spy thriller series Slow Horses

which is good too, it's a mix of Black comedy and spy tension.

Michael Fassbender's character has an apartment there in The Agency as well

Living in the Barbican seems so very typical for a spy that it'd be like a give away.

James Bond obviously doesn't live there, but I can imagine any number of John le Carré's later characters (the early novels are set before it was built) would make sense.

Don't they all live in Dolphin house? I swear Neil Burnside did.
