Some of you may have noticed the “Balfour” wine bars in Bow Churchyard and West Smithfield. In the autumn 2025 Barbican Life magazine we visit the winery that supplies them!
Helen has been the editor of Barbican Life magazine and its accompanying website since 2019, following the retirement of the publication’s founder, Lawrence Williams. Under Helen’s stewardship, Barbican Life continues to provide insightful coverage of community news, cultural events, and lifestyle topics relevant to Barbican residents and enthusiasts. While the magazine’s revenue contributes to supporting Barbican Association membership, editorial decisions and content creation remain entirely independent of the association, ensuring journalistic integrity and a distinct editorial voice.
