I spent most of my life in London’s Mayfair & St James’s where I brought up her 2 husbands & 3 children.

Mayfair and my eccentric family feature heavily in my writing and I run www.mayfaireccentrics.com an insiders guide to the area, and write about the royals, spies, authors, blue-stocking salons, Aristocratic Roman Catholics & Dandies which have been at the heart of this extraordinary area since the 1660’s.
