About me
About me
I am currently living in Haggerston in East London, working in photography. I have lived in lots of different parts of London so have had plenty of opportunities to seek out the local hot-spots from Hackney Wick to Elephant and Castle.
I like reading, cycling and traveling around London and the rest of the world.
Why London?
I have lived in London my whole life and firmly believe in the Samuel Johnson quote ”When a man is tired of London then he is tired of life”.
I love the vast amount of things to do in London for all weathers, budgets and ages and how rich the city is in culture and history.
I take great pleasure in the most mundane factors of London life, from the hot blast of a tube train approaching to nipping through the crowds on Oxford street on a manic Saturday afternoon.
