I’m a writer based in London. I run @caffs_not_cafes and the newsletter Wooden City. You can email me here.

I started @caffs_not_cafes in 2019 to celebrate London’s oldest caffs. Since then, I’ve written for publications like Vittles and the Guardian, while my account has evolved to cover all sorts of places.

In 2024 I launched Wooden City, where I write mostly about London’s pubs, shops, restaurants and public spaces. This newsletter has over 10,000 subscribers and you can sign up here.

I’ve appeared on podcasts, been on BBC Radio 4 and spoken on panels at Glastonbury and the Cutty Sark. I was nominated in the Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink Awards three years running, across two categories. I’ve also worked with brands like Tate, Historic England and London Museum.
