If you are meeting up with friends, then Whitecross Street Market near the Barbican Centre is a great place to start. A foodie’s heaven during the day, with a great coffee stand that has recently won Barista of the Year. The market is only a stone’s throw away from galleries Ancient & Modern, Cabinet and the Magnum print room. For those who are interested in architecture, wind your way back from Magnum taking in the Golden Lane Estate and book up a tour of the Barbican Estate. From here head towards Bloomberg SPACE to see their latest commission and aim to finish up at The Fox on Paul St where you can unwind in the lovely upstairs dining room and where dinner can be free if you roll the dice right!
