When I want to chill out I…
London has some beautiful green spaces, so weather permitting, I’d head to Hyde or Battersea Park to be at one with nature (and my iPad). If it’s raining then a café like Timberyard in Covent Garden is perfect.
The most interesting person I’ve met in London is…
I managed to ask Paul Smith a quick question at the launch of his Design Museum exhibition. It’s reassuring that someone with hoarding tendencies has become so successful so it fills me with hope!
My favourite place for a drink is…
The London Cocktail Club near Goodge St is small but perfectly formed. Its flaming cocktails are something you need to try at least once.
When you’re hungover in London you can’t beat…
I always go for a full English breakfast. I love The Breakfast Club for this.
My favourite spot in London is…
Shad Thames is where my dream apartment would be. I love that there are buildings with names like ‘Tamarind Court’; it’s like something straight out of a novel.
My perfect weekend would be…
Brunch at Jackson & Rye, a stroll around Broadway market, dinner at Burger & Lobster, drinks in Brixton and dancing in Peckham. I’d spend Sunday recovering and catching an exhibition at The V&A. There would be no engineering works and the weather would be stuck at 25 degrees!
What I love most about London is…
London is tolerant, forward thinking and my home! I feel so comfortable here, I can wear whatever I want and do most things (within reason). All we need now is consistently decent weather and 24-hour tubes!
Five words that sum up London are…
Diverse, eclectic, grand, random and inspiring.
