Madeleine Spencer is a West Londoner at heart. It is both her stomping ground and inspiration – the people, places and trends affecting this picturesque neck of the woods are the theme for her blog (www.madeleinespencer.co.uk), and the interviews which she conducts target West London’s luminaries. It might therefore seem incongruous that Madeleine is of Austrian/Hungarian descent, but this has never hampered her all-encompassing (and highly-localised) Anglophilia. In fact, you can often find her espousing the virtues of Wilde down at the only Austrian bar in West London – the legendary Tiroler Hut, which has dual claims on her heart due to it being both her own local and her father’s establishment. She enjoys these sorts of dichotomies immensly and hopes to cultivate many more over the years to come.
