The Barbican is worth visiting for it’s brutalist architecture alone. The concert programming is really diverse; it’s home to the BBC Syphony Orchestra, but you’ll also find bands like the Dirty Projectors and the National amongst the classical and contemporary composer line up. Plenty of art, dance and theatre too, however, the Conservatory is the real gem that’s not to be missed.

This independent cinema near Angel in North London is over 100 years old and has had several lives including hosting early Sex Pistol gigs. It now serves as my favourite place to watch films (along with the Rio in Dalson).
