Lauren is a London girl born and raised and is normally to be found eating Marmite and wishing she was a Spice Girl. Having left London for a few years to study Theology at Cambridge, she is glad to be back in a city where shops are open after 5pm. Her favourite things include writing, theatre, Wuthering Heights, the Southbank and Peter Pan. Most importantly, Lauren can lick her elbow. She tweets from @laurendavidson and her website is http://laurendavidson.co.uk.
