Barbican & Old Street

Where tech meets arts and culture on the outskirts of the financial district – there is no other area in London quite like Barbican and Old Street. Discover impressive architecture old and new, hang out with creatives in hidden coffee shops or immerse yourself in the many world-class galleries, bars and restaurants. This once up-and-coming and diverse area is still going strong, firmly established as London’s melting pot of creativity and entrepreneurial spirit.

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.
