The seamless merger of residences, retail and culture keep the Barbican constantly breathing and there’s few better places in London to sit beside the running water and enjoy a quiet lunch.

This place is huge, and you could spend hours exploring the many trails. Grab a couple of drinks and take a walk up Parliament Hill, one of the highest points in London. Here you'll find the best view of London's entire city skyline. Summertime sees hundreds of young locals on 'the Heath' sunbathing, drinking cider and swimming in the ponds.

It is a great piece of history and is a very beautiful ode to a tragic event. Looking at it from the outside – you would not think that you could walk up. A reasonable £4 to climb the Monument guarantees you a much deserved certificate when you make it back down.

Being slightly outside of Central London the quarter is often neglected by the majority, so chances are you’ll bump into more locals than you would tourists.
