Where was the first place where you lived in London?
I was born at St Thomas’s Hospital, high above the river, and spent the first 20 years of my life in Stockwell, where I’ve recently moved back to. It’s not a neighbourhood that calls attention to its striking architectural beauty. There is nowhere tosausages and wonderful Mediterranean fish shops for salt cod, sparkling mackerel and bushels of fresh herbs. It is a wonderful mixture of being ugly, dirty, unselfconscious, friendly and confident.
