Waterside Cafe

Living in the Barbican for a while introduced me to this café and it was usually a savior in one way or another! Serving up lots of delicious cakes and a whole range of lovely herbal teas, it became a regular meeting spot. It’s part of the Barbican Centre so a great place to stop off if you’re here for a concert, but also a good place to sit and read a book outside on the terrace by the Barbican lake. The scenery isn’t very pretty, with concrete everywhere you look, but there’s always the cute ducks to look at who have little ramps to run up and down so they can easily get in and out of the water! It’s a cool place in a concrete jungle and lovely in the summer.
