"I live right next to 3 Mills Studios, this old-school production house. There's a little gallery space where they get local artists exhibiting, usually older people who feel passionate about certain things, or who start exploring new things in life. It's really lovely."

"I like art that’s done by local people, inspired by whatever they’re reading or thinking. So I like going to small galleries. Nelly Duff does lovely stuff, they also sell my work so I'm biased."

"There's this pub called Galvanisers [Union]. It's the most ‘contrast-y’ pub ever. From outside it looks like a shitty 70s development, but inside it is just like any other pub. It has a nice vibe and it has a good range of beverages."

"The 10 Cases is in Covent Garden on Endell Street. They do a really good selection of organic wines from different regions. It's rare to find good orange wines in London, but 10 Cases has a really nice selection. It has good food as well."

"Olympic Park is vast, looked after and has pockets that look a bit more wild. The beautiful thing that I noticed during the pandemic — because this is my local walk — is that they continuously change the flower arrangements and update the shrubbery throughout the year. Every time you walk, there will be something new."
