What do you love about London?

I love being able to pop into a museum, browse bookshops, eat almost any food, enter an old medieval street, or take a stroll across any of our beautiful green spaces. Whatever you want, London has it.

What would you change about London if you could?

The rampant inequality – some people believe London is this gold paved city, where all prosper. But the assumed wealth and relative economic prosperity of the city as a whole hides a horrendous level of poverty spread throughout the city.

Also the rental market – but that’s partially selfish as renting is London is a nightmare.
