Pho is an excellent casual Vietnamese franchise restaurant. Good for street food and take away. Only drawback is that it's closed on Sundays :(

Arts & Culture

Because the Barbican is known for it's Symphony Hall, Theatre, Cinema and Art Gallery, I chose to highlight the excellent library, which is open to the public. There's a great magazine section.
