I host with my partner Jake. We run our own small-scale theatre company, performing all over the UK and the world. We live in Hackney with our son, 19, who is away at college most of the time. East London has been home for a couple of decades and we love it.
We travel widely, both for work and for fun, and sometimes for voluntary development projects. We have always enjoyed having guests and meeting new people.
This is apparently the second-most diverse borough, in the world's second-most diverse city, and that's how we like it!
