Barbican Estate
A celebration of contemporary art housed in a giant brutalist maze
Where tech meets arts and culture on the outskirts of the financial district – there is no other area in London quite like Barbican and Old Street. Discover impressive architecture old and new, hang out with creatives in hidden coffee shops or immerse yourself in the many world-class galleries, bars and restaurants. This once up-and-coming and diverse area is still going strong, firmly established as London’s melting pot of creativity and entrepreneurial spirit.
A neapolitan ice cream of culture – agency, gallery, and shop
“It’s like a private members club but you don’t have to be a member”. Prepare to be transported into a different place with each level in the Bird of Smithfield exuding a different style held together by an outstanding appreciation of design with delicate finishing touches. The quirky paintings going down the stairs will give you a little hint of what’s to come on the next level. We advise you try their ‘Chill’ini’ cocktail for a great kick-start to your evening.
