It is probably the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. I grew up in Blackheath, so visiting the museum, the Royal Observatory and the Royal Naval College is always a treat.
What is your favourite museum or gallery?
My favourite museum is Sir John Soane’s Museum, which is a real treasure in the centre of London. Also, the Tate Modern.
Where do you like to go shopping?
If you are visiting London for the first time, you obviously have to go to Carnaby Street. But I also recommend Borough Market and Camden Lock. If you like your shops more upmarket, I would also recommend Burlington Arcade – that’s very posh!
What is your favourite green space?
It has to be Regent’s Park. I did my first job there [understudying Ralph Fiennes in A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Open Air Theatre]. I spent a lot of time in that area and it’s beautiful.
