Fiona only recently moved to London, having started life in Norfolk. She currently edits business books for a living, but career highs have included running a hotel reception in Prague with no knowledge of Czech and trying to persuade Stephen Fry to review a book about Jesus conspiracies. Fiona has enjoyed writing articles on travel, environmental issues and music, and is now excited to be writing about her new shiny hometown. She is currently trying to learn the violin, much to the horror of her neighbours.
