Designer Tolù Adèkó explains why London has a particular hold on his heart

- EMMA J PAGE

IT feels like just yesterday that I boarded a plane from Nigeria to the UK with my family, though it was in fact 30 years ago. The thought of a new life was both thrilling and daunting, especially with the bittersweet feeling of leaving my dear grandmother behind. We settled in Bermondsey, just a stone's throw from Tower Bridge. South-east London's green spaces and tranquil charm quickly became my grounding force and now my own family's history continues to unfold here.
