"Whitecross Street's food market is a bustling ruckus most days, with workers and tourists eyeing up everything from Thai curries, to Turkish lahmacun, to Brazilian tapioca flatbreads. Given that you can more than likely smell the market from one of the Barbican’s courtyards, this is the most convenient place to grab something during the week. Just be warned that peak lunchtime means peak queues." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
