I worked at the Barbican for several years and during that time became very fond of its architecture. One of my favourite spaces within the centre is the conservatory, a giant tropical garden in the middle of a concrete city.

An excellent bookshop by Brick Lane, the interior design is incredible and the selection unexpected. A good place to get lost in!

Wood-floored shop with a museum-like vibe selling vintage men's fashions, footwear and accessories.

Award-winning restaurant and creative hub. Introducing great chefs from a variety of countries and cuisines.

A+ little book store full of publications made by artists. So many beautiful and interesting books to choose from.
