Degree: BA Hons English Literature and History of Art
I gained a 2:1 honours degree from University College London, and a love of London which has stayed with me, living in Camden, St John's Wood and Gray's Inn Road. Everyone makes their own London, and mine is the London of art and music: Medieval kings, C18th philanthropists and painters, C19th writers. Some of my favourite places: South Place Ethical Society in Red Lion Square, the roriginal remains of Thomas Coram's foundling hostpital at Coram's Fields near Russell Square, Gower Street, the network of building speculators' early C19th streets round Islington and Camden.
