Food scene
Barbican is an energetic waterside area where you will find many attractions like Fine restaurants , shops , Gin Distillery, Barbican Theatre , retail art Galleries, National Aquarium etc.
The historical side of Barbican is the cobblestone lanes and containing 100 listed buildings and full of the architecture of a historic fishing port . Only a few parts of the city with buildings escape from the destruction of The Blitz during the second world war. If you enjoy history, why not explore Elizabethan House in New Street and discover and explore what a basic B&B would have been like back then -very minimal and not much else . It was built just before 1600 , mostly likely built by businessmen, shop owners for rental purposes and if they have families they would live near their boats and businesses as at that time the Barbican was busy and bustling.
