Sit. Drink coffee. Buy Leica. Leave penniless.

Where 1984 of George Orwell got its inspiration from, the craziness of a real ministry of propaganda. 

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. 

If you want a peaceful day out of the busy city, Highgate doesn't really feel like London. The cemetery is interesting and peaceful, there's a tour of the old half which is definitely worth the money. Karl Marx, among others are buried there.
