In the latest edition of “Meet the Londoner” Julie Falconer shows us her favourite spots in London. And if you are into reading travel blogs with a focus on London, I am sure you have heard about Julie already. She is the woman behind “A Lady in London“, her blog which she turned into a full-time job in 2010.
I have read her blog for many years and I admire her writing and photography skills. How cool that I could meet her during Travers Conference in Rotterdam in June 2018! Enjoy the questionnaire-interview for which Julie added the works in italic.

Some fun stuff about Julie
Milk in first or milk in last? First, because my Scottish grandmother told me that in the old days it would break cheap porcelain if you poured boiling water in the cup without milk to cool it down
Marmite – love it or hate it? Love it!
My motto in life is never check in a bag!
Thanks so much for this interview, Julie!
