Where do you stay in London?

Next time you ask I hope to reply "Claridge's" but in reality, I only ever pop in there for a glass of champagne to wash away the country cobwebs. For a bed I prey on the pals with the poshest postcodes. Friends in Camden have a cosy spare room from which I can walk to Marylebone through Regent's Park. I might have coffee, pop into the Maximillian William gallery and generally experience life as the Londoner I never became when I lived there.

Where was your first flat?
