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
Step back in time to Nightjar. With its vintage interior and warm ambience this bar is home to some of the best speakeasy blues and jazz in the area. With live events on almost every evening, this is the place to come for a night to remember. It’s a must to try the cocktails on the menu – where else would you get a prohibition zombie or a post-war royal hawaiian? We recommend booking as it will get busy. Look out for the Nightjar bird on the easy-to-miss wooden door.
