I live with my brother and a friend in Peckham. The house is very musical. There’s always the sound of a cello, violin or guitar.
I stay at home. I’m often in my garden. I love being out here. It’s nice to have this space — we have a fig tree, an apple tree and a banana tree.
I moved to London almost 10 years ago, as a student. I studied at the Royal Academy of Music and stayed in student halls in Marylebone.
I’ve always just been a cellist and have been performing since I was young. I’ve never had a proper job!
There’s a place in Peckham called Hausu, which I love. It’s a great spot, super cool, with good plates of food and great drinks. It’s cosy.
Restaurants close too early in London — we should be more like New York. Let people stay out!
Probably Jikoni in Marylebone. I used to go all the time when I lived around there. I love that place, particularly the banana cake dessert. I’d finish [music] practice for the day and I’d go just for that. It’s indulgent, beautiful and delicious.
I’d give restaurants later licences so they could stay open for longer. Kitchens close too early in London — we should be more like New York. Let people stay out! I finish concerts at 10.30pm and always end up racing to a restaurant to get my order in before the kitchen shuts.
I’m quite centred around Peckham, in the summer especially. Bold Tendencies in Peckham Levels is great. If I’m in London, I head there on Wednesday nights.
I play football a lot. I use an app called Footy Addicts — you just log in and find a game happening nearby. I’ll go as far as Brixton to play. I just try to avoid going in goal, as I have to protect my fingers. I’m a striker.
One of my best friends, Matt. He’s very much up for a night out. Wherever we go and whatever we do, we’ll have a good time.
Clothes. I do like good clothes. Paul Smith, who is from Nottingham, my hometown, is a favourite.
