Spent an uplifting winter afternoon at London’s Culture Mile, enjoying Australian cuisine at Barbie Green, exploring art at Guildhall, and watching A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Barbican. Highlights included bottomless brunch with blueberry pancakes, Anne Desmet’s exhibition, and a magical theatre performance.
An afternoon spent in London’s Culture Mile was a delightful remedy for the winter blues. My partner and I indulged in Australian cuisine at Barbie Green, a lively restaurant with a summer vibe. We enjoyed a “tea-total” bottomless brunch featuring scrumptious dishes like blueberry buttermilk pancakes and award-winning banana bread. After brunch, we explored the Culture Mile, notable for its cultural events and architecture, making use of the Footways website for a guided route. A highlight was visiting the Guildhall Art Gallery, free to enter and featuring an impressive collection, including the captivating Anne Desmet exhibition. The day culminated in a magical performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Barbican Centre, which left us thoroughly entertained and warmed.
London’s Culture Mile is a vibrant area that fosters cultural creativity, stretching from Farringdon to Moorgate. It includes various local events, restaurants, and historical sites, making it an excellent destination for a winter outing. The restaurant Barbie Green serves Australian-inspired dishes and offers unique dining experiences, complementing the cultural exploration of the neighbourhood.
Overall, the afternoon at Culture Mile proved to be a festive and heartwarming escape from winter gloom. The combination of delightful Australian brunch, beautiful art, and a captivating theatre performance made for an enriching experience.
