Barbican / City Road (South)

Map 7

Ugly as the brutalist Barbican might be, its surrounds have happily morphed into one of those areas that thrives on its appalling looks and survives on a generation of media peeps. Where the cool crowds flow, top notch hang-outs will follow. Old Street, or Silicon Roundabout, was designed for those who mainline coffee for survival while Bunhill Fields provides necessary respite.
