There were a few pretty crap things in Atomic Blonde that I was totally willing to overlook because I thought it was all so fucking cool. This sexy, punchy and hyper-stylised big screen version of Johnston's graphic novel sees Charlize Theron, an English agent (with a very dodgy English accent), travel to Berlin to meet up with her undercover colleague (James McAvoy) to find out what happened to her ex-boyfriend, while kicking ass and look good doing it. 

Barbican

The Barbican Centre | EC2Y 8DS

Hidden in the heart of London City, the Barbican Centre is home to apartments, art exhibitions, shops, a Library, Museum, conservatory, church, movie theatre and musical performance space. 

In fact, it's the largest performing arts space of its kind in Europe (London's still in Europe, right?).

Opened in March 1982, this ugly-pretty brutalist 35 year old has been forgotten by younger Londoners. Let me refresh your memory...
