I love the architecture of the Barbican - it is so important to its historical context, at a time when London was being shaped for modernity after the war - they also aspired to make it a bold art centre. We need bold, always. 

Excellent Turkish bakery. I highly recommend their £2 gözleme.

I'm waiting for a vegetarian-friendly event to get the full dining experience, but in the meantime there's wine!

I rediscovered this place recently having not been for years and now I keep returning. The geological galleries are my favourites.

Great little cinema, hidden away in the basement of Aubin & Wills, London. Not exactly a fan of the brand but the cinema is pretty awesome. They show a variety of interesting films and have probably the comfiest seats including armchairs and sofas. Bit dear, but one of the best cinemas I've come across.
