Lovely pub/cafe. Great atmosphere, best to sits outside 

Creative space that is full of life and has been a great spot for various creative shoots Place image not by me

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

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. 

A great place to wander get lost and and escape the city.
