Boogaloo, Highgate: My all-time favourite pub, located on Archway Road, just near Highgate station – my best friend works there so it’s basically a second home to me. It has a great atmosphere with excellent music. 312 Archway Road
Cloudesley Square, Angel: I used to live near here in a flat above a carpet shop, so whenever I was feeling like I needed motivation to work I would go for a walk to Cloudsley Square – the houses are beautiful and it’s a very relaxing area.

Kelly Street, Kentish Town: Not quite as grand, but much more colourful is Kelly street in Kentish town – whenever I’m in the area I always make a point of detouring down there.
The Wallace Collection: I went to the Wallace collection for the first time several years ago when I read that Vivienne Westwood had been influenced by it, and I wasn’t disappointed – I go there several times a year now. The 18th century interiors are unbelievably ostentatious and the craftsmanship in the paintings and furniture is phenomenal. For anyone who hasn’t been before, I can’t recommend it enough – and it’s free to visit, which for London is a rarity! Manchester Square, Marylebone
Opium, Chinatown: I went to Opium the other day for dinner – I’d never been before, and I can’t wait to go back. Their Pork buns are addictive, we sat in the Peony room – where I had two of the best cocktails in existence. 15-16 Gerrard Street
