Barbican Life magazine and Barbican Talk chatroom
Barbican Life magazine
Given that it is only aimed at a circulation of about 2000, this is an astonishingly glossy and professional magazine. We owe its success to Lawrence Williams who manages to corall enough residents to provide articles each time, and then converts it all into an extremely interesting community magazine. (My opinion on how interesting it is may be a little coloured by the fact that I occasionally contribute articles.) It comes out four times a year. One day he will give up and we'll be back to something in black and white and hand-stapled. If you have anything interesting to comment on, please get in touch with Lawrence about contributing an article. See their website www.barbicanlife.com
Barbican Talk
If you want to swap information, ask questions, sell or buy things, find local services, or discuss issues with other Barbican residents, go to www.barbicantalk.com which is a chatroom devoted to the Barbican.
Barbicanews
The Barbican Estate Office produce something called Barbicanews. I am sure it is full of useful information, but I can't get past the name. Is it ews about the Barbican or news about the Barbica? Do you pronounce it to rhyme with the Flanders and Swann number, 'I'm a gnu'? It is like that appalling hotel chain, Travelodge.
