The Barbican has so much to offer! From beautiful architecture, to a conservatory, amazing art, films, music and performances. It is such an exciting and relaxing place to hang out. Even if you don't have a purpose for visiting the Barbican, it's good for just having a tea with a friend. 

An unassuming glass door on an otherwise plain facade hides a cavernous space, with high ceilings and huge sliding partitioned walls producing excellent exhibitions in a space you'll want to go back to.

Outside of the major players (Tate, V&A, RA) this is probably the best programmed gallery in London

A charming family-run restaurant offering a great selection of freshly made hand-rolled pasta. Delicious:p

Beautiful canal across london. A nice part is between Angel and Victoria Park.
