Perfect Day

My Perfect Day

Where are your favourite buildings?

When I was a little girl, I was obsessed with English history – I read all about King Henry VIII. I’m intrigued by the Tower of London; it holds a fascination for me and makes such an impact.

Which galleries interest you?

I’ve not had much time to visit museums or galleries in London. If I did I’d like to go to The Queen’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace. A fantasy of mine is to wander around it like a ghost.

Do you have any favourite shops?

I’m not a big consumer or an impulse shopper– you won’t see me with lots of bags. I think I’m a thoughtful shopper; I prefer to pick up one special thing. I always go to Vivienne Westwood.

Which green spaces do you like to visit?

I haven’t been to any London parks, but I do fantasise about horse riding through Hyde Park.

Is there a place that holds a special memory for you?
