The renowned stylist, author and journalist tells us about the London spots she loves
Where do you live and why?
‘Shepherd’s Bush. My kids are at a local school there and I love the area. It’s central, my mum is nearby and, more than anything, it feels like home. I’ve always been west.’
What do you love about London?
‘So, so much. I love walking through the park. I love that there is always something brilliant to go and see if you fancy it. I love the people, the mentality. I just love London.’
Favourite London memory?
‘The discovery of Portobello Market. Or buying shoes with mum at Peter Jones when I was little. Both as exciting as the other, just years apart.’
What smell do you associate with London?
‘The inside of a black cab. Quite distinctive!’
