Henri has worked her way through an eclectic mix of employment before landing her current role as a legal editor. In a former life she was a professional dancer but is much happier being creative without bleeding feet and endless auditions. Other than the Tube in summer, Henri loves all things London, relishing the availability of endless things to do. Her addiction to exercise is currently on hold in favour of a more sedentary pursuit of sampling the countless places to eat and drink in the capital.
