However, others were more equivocal in their assessment, for example, one reviewer said ‘The atmosphere is classical and it's a very typical place in London.’.Extremely convenient area, if not a bit boring for Central
Ultimately, I feel that this area has a village-type feel despite it being in the thick of things. There's a very interesting mix of people in the area, and although it's overall pretty up market (expensive, but pretty good value), it does not feel too trendy like Shoreditch or stuck-up like Mayfair! For the Barbican Estate itself, pets are not allowed unfortunately, although I would say it's a good area for children, as the private residents gardens have a playground. The Barbican area is very self-contained and convenient, although you do need to exercise caution when going north/northeast of the immediate vicinity, especially late at night.
Transport
Tube is extremely fast and reliable from Barbican station (Hammersmith & City, Circle, Metropolitan Lines); Farringdon is about a 10 min walk away from that station, where the Thameslink can take you from Brighton/Gatwick up through to Luton/Bedford. Short walk to Old Street (Northern Line) and St Pauls (Central Line). All in all, most of the tube network converges on the area, which is great in the case of delays, since there are then several ways of getting around! Bus routes are a bit suboptimal, but that's mostly just that they're stuck on routes that take extremely slow roads going west into central London, and their renegotiation of the routes going south of the river (Waterloo etc) was not particularly welcome.
Community
In the Barbican Estate, it is very quiet, although some flats are susceptible to street noise on Aldersgate Street. Flats above the high-walk 'Podium' level, however, are nearly as quiet as country living! Other residents are a mixed bag - most of whom are very friendly, although some are very standoffish. Mostly couples/small families, more owners than renters (but still plenty of renters), and anti-social behaviour in the buildings is very rare, although some obnoxious, albeit non-dangerous behaviour from non-residents late at night on the Podium level has become a bit frustrating.
Amenities
The Barbican area is an extremely convenient area to live - so many supermarkets within easy walking distance. The world class Arts Centre is, naturally, the main feature, and the adjoining library is one of the best I've been in. Restaurants are a bit lacking, especially on the cheaper side of things, and the area is dead (like the rest of the City) during weekends, often including shut pubs, etc. The pubs that are there, though, are fantastic and full of history. Coffee is great in the area! I almost thought that London was a lost cause with coffee until I began to live in the Barbican area.
This is a very small city
This is a very small city and is very popular for its cleanliness and the only reason i live here is because it makes it easier for me to commute to work and back
Transport
The transport system in our area is very well organised and there are ongoing plans in place that will help improve its overall customer experience

Our street is a very quite and there is not much movement throughout the day. There is alot of space available for the parking too
Amenities
There is a wide range of supermarkets in my area and restaurants but we are missing any middle eastern cuisine restaurants, it will be really nice to have it
The atmosphere is classical and it's a very typical place in London.

Transport
There are many metro and rail stations like London Bridge and Borough Station. Besides that, blackfriar station is also a nice choice.
Community
To be honest, this is an area full of office buildings, so most of the people on weekdays are professionals and a lot of students studying in KCL.
Amenities
I've been living near Borough Station for a long time. There are only a small Sainsbury and a little Tesco that is really inconvenient for me. As for the gyms, that's is great since a lot of people working in the bankside.
There are a lot of different shops near my area from Indian shops to Spanish shops
