Georgia May Jagger's My London
Hannah Nathanson5 October 2012

Where do you live?
I grew up in Richmond, which has the park and is very green and beautiful. Now I live in London Bridge on the river. I love Borough Market and walking into Central London via South Bank.

Earliest London memory?
My first day at school at Ibstock Place in Roehampton. I remember swapping my snack with somebody else because they had strawberries.

Most romantic thing someone’s done for you?
Sprayed my name on a wall. I’d better not say where.

First thing you do when you get home?
Go to my mum’s to see her and my two dogs and cat. And eat a full English.

What do you collect?
Cameras. I have ten.

Favourite shops?
Alfies Antiques Market in Marylebone is great for knick-knacks and Rellik on Golborne Road for vintage clothes. Borough Market because you can wander around and nibble on everything. I like the Vivienne Westwood on Conduit Street and Agent Provocateur for underwear. I buy my jeans from Selfridges, the Nico style by Hudson is a great fit.

Best meal?
For a quick bite I like the Vietnamese places in East London. I also go to Cây Tre in Soho and Caphe House on Bermondsey Street for pho and spring rolls.

Best place for a first date?
Ffiona’s on Kensington Church Street. It does unfussy, English food. The ambience is candlelit and romantic.

Which building would you like to live in?
Liberty. It’s built using wood from an old boat and I’ve always thought it would make an amazing house.

What would you do as Mayor for the day?
Have a public holiday where everyone has to do something nice for someone else.

Ever had a run-in with a policeman?
Only when they’ve helped me.

Where do you go to let your hair down?
Turbogeist gigs — my brother Jimmy is the lead singer. I recently went to see them at Barfly in Camden.

Best advice you’ve been given?
My mum says: ‘Always have fun, don’t take yourself too seriously — and smile.’

What animal would you like to be?
A cheetah so I could run really fast — I’m a slow runner.

When was the last time you went to the theatre?
I went to see Romeo and Juliet at the Royal Opera House. The dancing and costumes were so beautiful. And I go to a pantomime every year with my dad and my brothers. I like shouting, ‘Oh no you didn’t!’

What building would you like to be locked in overnight?
Harrods. I’d start the evening by breaking into the pets section and releasing all the puppies, then I’d put on a ball gown. It would be so much fun.

Favourite discoveries?
The St Dunstan-in-the-East Garden in the City. It’s a church that was bombed during the Blitz and has been turned into a public space. It’s an amazing place hidden between all the big glass buildings.

Biggest extravagance?
Silk sheets from ABC Carpet & Home in New York.

Where do you go for a nightcap?
The Scotch in Mayfair. I never know what I drink there, I just always ask the barman for something pink.

Who do you call to have fun?
All my girls, including Cara Delevingne and Suki Waterhouse. We either go to gigs or house parties.

Last album you bought?
Aquemini by Outkast, an old album I hadn’t heard in a while. I love Outkast.

At the moment you are...
Shooting in the glorious LA sunshine for Sunglass Hut.

Who are your heroes?
My parents and Oprah — she’s so full of wisdom.
