Comedian Sara Pascoe loves breakfast at the Café Royal and dreams of a cocktail at the Waterstones bar

Home is ... North London with my two sons, husband and dog. We've been here for about five years and really adore it.

Where do you stay in London? When my husband and I were dating we used to stay at the Café Royal at Piccadilly for the decadent breakfasts and incredible spa facilities. In fact, we loved it so much we became members so we could swim in the pool whenever we liked - pre-children, when our life was far more indulgent.

Where was your first flat? Where I live now is my first flat. I've always rented previously, my first house share was in Leytonstone at the end of 1999. My mum insisted that all her kids move out at 18, but when she saw how many mice I was cohabiting with she did feel bad about it!

What was your first job here? I worked at the Millennium Dome, first in the ticketing department and later as a character actor. It's probably the most I've enjoyed any of my jobs: it was social, well paid and with lots of brilliant, interesting people who would crowd down to the pub after work. It gave me a false idea of what adulthood would be like.
