    For the final episode of this wonderful series of This City, I am joined by - let’s be honest - London Royalty. It’s drag superstar, model, published author and recording artist - Bimini Bon-Boulash! Sadiq Khan himself said that they reflect the best of our city, and you’ll absolutely hear that in this episode. From travelling to London as a kid and finding their people, to their days as a journalism student and nights out in their best charity shop fits, to getting woken up in their Brick Lane flat by Jack the Ripper tours… it’s all in here babes! As you would expect, Bimini is full of energy and tells me some incredible stories! Enjoy this episode and I will see you next time!

    Welcome back to another episode of This City - and Happy New Year dear listener! I am, of course, delighted to introduce this weeks guest - my good friend and fellow Ghanaian, he’s a published author and the Editor-in-Chief of Vogue… it’s Edward Enninful! We start at Edward’s first London home in Vauxhall, before moving on to Ladbroke Grove, and then heading all over our fair city for various parties and club nights - even sneaking out to raves in Mitcham. And of course, you’ve got to get back from the parties, so the hallowed night bus gets a special mention in this episode! Talking to Edward was such a tonic, and SO much fun; we of course chat fashion, shopping, and which South London babe throws the best parties: Kate or Naomi?! Enjoy!

    Hello dear listener, and welcome back for another trip around beautiful London! This week I am joined by the incredible Candice Brathwaite. Where to start…! Candice is a writer (of not one, not two, but THREE bestsellers), a mother, a wife, a content creator - she is the OOTD queen; and one of South London’s finest!I LOVED chatting to Candice, we reminisced about the fashion, family, Brixton, the nights out, our school days, and we also talked about the realities of living in London today - and why getting pregnant with her son changed her perspective on the city as a home for her family. Candice is such an incredible force of nature; I genuinely could have talked to her all day! Enjoy!
