Nick Purves has written 204 posts for The London Word

Nick is a writer who has been living in London for three years, covering film, theatre, music and food in all the various forms that London has to offer. What Nick finds intriguing about London is the real possibility to determine the sort of city in which one lives. For although it seems hectic, loud and a little overwhelming, it is malleable enough to allow people to make their own mark. Nick is also part of a sketch group that writes and performs comedy, a lot of which can be found at www.inthechumbucket.blogspot.com.
