This image was taken from the above-ground walkway between the Barbican Estates and the Museum of London.
From Barbican Station (via Circle, Hammersmith or Metropolitan lines), head out towards the road and immediately turn left, where you'll see a flight of stairs going up towards the overpass in the direction of the Barbican.
As you cross the overpass, you'll see a covered walkway ahead of you. Make a right and go down the curved ramp alongside the road you just passed over. This walkway will take you to the south side of Barbican Estate. Carry on going south and you'll reach another covered walkway. \\
As you turn the corner and make a left, there will be an opening in the pedestrian walkway (around 1.8m high). Reach out with your camera and you'll be able to see the tennis courts and the football pitch.
