Barbican Estate
A celebration of contemporary art housed in a giant brutalist maze
When you come across a shop down Rivington Street with a sign that says ‘ARTWORDSBOOKSHOPQRSTUVWXYZabcontemporaryvisualculture1234567890&£-–/.,:;‘’!?*“”–(){}@%+=’, you’ve reached the right place. If the name didn’t give it away already, it’s speciality bookshop offering the best in art and design inspiration and literature. We love Artwords not only because they have a great selection but also sell a wide range of current international and independent magazines. You just can’t beat leafing through printed matter, so pop in for a browse, find something new, and definitely don’t buy it later on Amazon.
