Born and bred in Greenwich, Sarah’s love affair with the bright lights started at a very early age. Despite a four-year fling with Brighton and brief dalliances with South America, she has recently returned to the place she loves best. She completed her degree in Media Studies three years ago and by day Sarah has been working in publishing, but by night has been writing for a variety of websites on music, fashion and whatever takes her fancy. Thelondonword.com gives her the perfect excuse to spend even more time in the city that she loves. Whether it is enjoying food in Soho, whiling away the hours trawling through the grubby shops of Brick Lane, or having a pint or two in the even grimier pubs of Camden, as long as it’s London it doesn’t matter.
