Cathy Adams has written 5 posts for The London Word
Born and bred in Dagenham, Essex (although technically in zone 5), Cathy spent her childhood pretending she was a Londoner despite moving to Cambridge at the age of four. After graduating with a French degree, she ran off to London to do an MA in journalism, where she was mostly to be found blogging about the Northern Line. Now living in a holiday chalet on the Cally Road, she spends her days memorising the tube and bus routes to impress her friends. Likes include RPatz, oversized pets and the number 274 bus.
