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
Just minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Old Street and City Road, the green space of Bunhill Cemetery offers a sanctuary of calm. This beautiful yet small graveyard is amazingly the resting place for an estimated 120,000 bodies including William Blake and Daniel Defoe. It’s also home to some extremely tame and well fed squirrels who won’t be afraid to ask you for food.
