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
We love craft, so not a lot excites us more than a trip to Wyvern Bindery. As soon as you walk through the door you are transported into a world of traditional bookbinding, filled with workbenches and the kind of tools your Dad would spend hours telling you about – all topped off with the wonderful smell of all kinds of leather, fabric and paper. Specialising in bespoke bookbinding and repairs, the team here are dedicated to preserving the highest level of craftsmanship.
