What is your favourite thing about living in London?

I love that every part is different and there’s always something new to do. I’ve lived here my whole life and I don't think I’ll ever get bored of it. Like Samuel Johnson said, ‘When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.’

Where in the World would you like to visit?

Australia, definitely. I’ve had this obsession with it since I was really young and grew up watching programmes and documentaries about it. Plus they have the coolest animals and England’s a bit lacking in cool animals.

Where is your favourite place to eat in London?

This place called The Diner in Shoreditch, it has the best pancakes

What do you love doing?

I like hiking. It’s a great way to relax, when you live in London it’s super easy to forget that there’s stuff outside of the city haha

3 favourite things everyone should do in London?

1. Walk along the Thames

2. Go to a gig because there’s always loads on

3. Go Geocaching

Out and About: Fresh Laces Party

We were at the Fresh Laces Party in Boxpark, Shoreditch! All I can say is that it was fantastic!! The event was unforgettable. London is full of so much creativity and innovation and it was great to see some cool fashion brands and music artists really pushing the boundaries through their craft.  During the night we enjoyed wonderful performances from artists such as Shaun White, Areej, Skyy-i and Ceize. The artists shared the platform with the audience and it was great to see the audience getting fully involved in the performances. It was definitely a fun experience and we are glad we were part of it.

To add to the atmosphere of the night DJ Melody Kane and DJ 10 Faces were dropping tune after tune on the decks and the crowd were going crazy! They played everything from Skepta to Future to Drake.

We took some pictures, but got distracted by the music! Taking pictures and trying to dance is actually quite hard to do!  Check it out High Spirits! :-)
