You can find her in a classy hotel bar, but she also loves hosting at home \u2014 which is in north London by the way. This is Alicia Vikander\u2019s London.<\/p>\n
To be honest, it\u2019s wherever my family are and right now we\u2019re here for a few months which is nice. This used to be my home for a lot of years, so I\u2019m back in north London<\/a>.<\/p>\n Which five London shops do you rely on?<\/p>\n When I\u2019m back here in north London, in Belsize Park<\/a> there\u2019s a pharmacy on England\u2019s Lane. I love a pharmacy, I spend so much time in them \u2014 even Boots. <\/p>\n I love a pharmacy, I spend so much time in them \u2014 even Boots <\/p>\n hen I would say that the Grocery Post, up in Highgate, is where I go and get my food. I go and buy my books in Primrose Hill Books. I love going to Rose Uniacke\u2019s store, on the Pimlico Road, and looking at the furniture, it\u2019s very dangerous. Lastly, the closest flower shop I can find, because I always dress my home with flowers. <\/p>\n Where do you go and what do you do to have fun?<\/p>\n I haven\u2019t lived in London for years and I was excited about going back to the Chiltern Firehouse<\/a>. I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s burned down<\/a>. I\u2019m such an old-school person, I love a hotel bar<\/a>; at The Connaught or Claridge\u2019s I can go and have my favourite, my only go-to drink \u2014 a martini.<\/p>\n Chiltern Firehouse before the fire<\/p>\n Matt Writtle<\/p>\n I also throw really good parties. I\u2019ll get out a karaoke machine. Then I\u2019ll go to the Grocery Post, buy a lot of ingredients and then I\u2019m going to spend some hours in the kitchen, get my friends really drunk as I cook, and then for sure we\u2019re going to dance until the early hours. <\/p>\n Who is the most iconic Londoner in history?<\/p>\n Alicia Vikander and husband Michael Fassbender have two children together<\/p>\n PA<\/p>\n What\u2019s the best thing a cabbie has ever said to you?<\/p>\n \u201cWake up, you\u2019re home.\u201d<\/p>\n What\u2019s your London secret?<\/p>\n It\u2019s a little chef\u2019s table Japanese restaurant in Belsize Park that no one believes is there, including me. I walked in there by total chance. You can hardly see it from outside. Literally everyone who I\u2019ve taken there now tells me they go back all the time. But I\u2019m not telling you the name.<\/p>\n What would you do if you were Mayor for the day? <\/p>\n I\u2019m now biking around London and I would just force everyone to get on a bike. Maybe in high heels \u2014 just to make it more fun.<\/p>\n What book did you last read?<\/p>\n Funnily enough it\u2019s a Katherine Rundell children\u2019s book. It\u2019s really great \u2014 I have two kids and right now I\u2019m totally into that book. I read every night, I love reading to them. I\u2019m excited to start reading chapter books with them, that\u2019s the next step. <\/p>\n What are you up to for work at the moment?<\/p>\n I\u2019m preparing to return to the stage, for Simon Stone\u2019s new version of Henrik Ibsen\u2019s The Lady from the Sea at the Bridge Theatre<\/a>. I\u2019m so excited. I\u2019ve been secretly waiting for the day when this will come. My mother was a stage actress, and in Sweden there are not that many films or TV shows being made, so if you are an actor you are on stage.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been secretly waiting for the day when this will come<\/p>\n To be able to go back to my Scandinavian roots and to such a classic, with Simon reimagining it\u2009\u2026\u2009I saw his Yerma, which was one of the most powerful pieces I\u2019ve seen. This week we\u2019re having workshops and he is literally writing scenes for us in the morning. <\/p>\n What\u2019s your favourite work of art in the capital?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
