Living in the artistic center of the world, I constantly check out the latest exhibitions because you just have to take full advantage of this amazing city. So the Barbican is a frequent stop during the weekend.
I LOVE the barbican. Their exhibitions are well-concepted and well-executed. Generally, each theme is quite original... one of my favourites is the James Bond exhibition where you end getting tipsy on Bond cocktails. It was an ingenious way to wrap up the exhibition.
In the summer they have an amazing outdoor patio where you can sit out on the grass and chill out. Summer or winter, I always get something from their cafe. They have a great range of food but because I usually come here after lunch, I get their yummy desserts and definitely something different every time.
The decor is just as nice... I love sitting here and chatting about art, drinking coffee and enjoying a nice slice of cake. It's a great way to spend a weekend afternoon.
