Favourite Neighbourhood:
Soho! Especially at the minute with the Al Fresco dining – I really hope that stays forever.
Favourite place for brunch:
Ozone in Shoreditch. Atmosphere, menu, staff, coffee… chef’s kiss!
Best coffee in London:
Ozone is a coffee roasters too, so has the best selection of coffees and all meticulously made to perfection!
Favourite gallery or museum:
The V&A features some great exhibitions. The last one I went to see there, was the ‘Christian Dior: Designer Of Dreams’ exhibit which was fascinating.
Tell us a secret:
I’m 27 years single and STILL looking to mingle (laughs).
Favourite place to shop:
Regent Street! It’s got the prefect mix of high street and luxury, and you can always nip to Carnaby Street just behind to find some extra little gems like END.
Favourite place to find inspiration:
Walking around Soho. I love the energy there, it always makes me so grateful to live in London.
Best London destination for a date:
I’m a foodie, so it’s got to be the sheer choice of amazing restaurants to choose from. I recently went to Louie on West Street which has just opened and that’s the perfect place for a date!
Favourite park:
Regent’s Park. It’s the closest park to me and always has such a vibe to it when it’s sunny.
Favourite food market:
Broadway Market. I used to live there and would go down every Saturday, have al fresco breakfast at El Ganso and watch the world go by,
Your sanctuary in the city:
Soho House Greek Street. It’s where I spend a lot of time. It’s so tucked away and cosy, but right in the heart of bustling Soho. You can spend the day there getting work done, or spend the night there on the terrace with a DJ playing great music on the weekends.
What inspires you?
Hearing stories of people who went from rags to riches, or built resilience during turbulent times and rose to success as a result.
This season I’m loving:
Arket & Cos. They have one really nice pieces that I just want to buy in every colour!
