I was in the States for about six years but I\u2019ve always been a London girl at heart. I never want to leave again. It\u2019s where my heart feels the fullest.<\/p>\n<p>Where do you stay in London? <\/p>\n<p>If I\u2019m having a staycation, or when I used to visit when I lived in America, I would always stay at the Corinthia, near Embankment. The spa is killer. I\u2019m talking full-on escape mode \u2014 dim lighting, eucalyptus everywhere, the most incredible massages and a pool downstairs with twinkling ceiling lights that make you feel like you\u2019re floating in a dream. The rooms are also incredible. Big fluffy beds, heavy curtains that block out the world, amazing marble bathrooms and, most importantly, a lot of closet space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-fBWQRz ktAUpt\">Late nights with friends, takeaways on the floor, laughing until 2am, crying over boys, figuring life out&#8230; my old flat holds a lot of memories<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-hknOHE ecFcwj\">Sophie Turner<\/p>\n<p>Where was your first flat?<\/p>\n<p>Belsize Park. I did no decorating, but it holds a lot of incredible memories \u2014 late nights with friends, takeaways on the floor, laughing until 2am, crying over boys, figuring life out. It was small and a bit chaotic, but it was mine, and it represented freedom. I still walk past it sometimes when I\u2019m in the area and smile. I loved that flat.<\/p>\n<p>Where would you recommend for a first date?<\/p>\n<p>The best first date spot in London has to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.standard.co.uk\/going-out\/attractions\/london-picnic-spots-best-parks-gardens-b1164802.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kensington Gardens or Parsons Green for a picnic<\/a>. Nothing better than a sunny day, a few <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/buy.geni.us\/Proxy.ashx?tsid=3927&amp;articleId=b1248420&amp;GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2FSt-Germain-Elderflower-Liqueur-70%2Fdp%2FB002E2QJG6%3Fascsubtag%3DES%7C1248420%7CB002E2QJG6\">St-Germain Hugo<\/a> spritzes, good music on your speaker, yummy food and \u2014 hopefully \u2014 good company. You don\u2019t have the awkward restaurant pressure, there\u2019s room to move around, and if the date goes well, it naturally turns into an hours-long hang. It\u2019s low-key, thoughtful, and you can see if the person knows how to vibe.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the best meal you\u2019ve had? <\/p>\n<p>Brook House in Fulham has the best Sunday roast I\u2019ve ever had. I was there with three of my girlfriends, as is tradition for us. The chicken supreme is my jam. And the Yorkshire puddings rock my world.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/SEI91215020.jpeg\" width=\"3836\" height=\"5934\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"sc-eqUAAy kRUyJB\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Kit Harington stars alongside Sophie Turner in The Dreadful, a film shot in the UK<\/p>\n<p>Dave Benett<\/p>\n<p>What would you do if you were Mayor for the day? <\/p>\n<p>I would turn the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.standard.co.uk\/news\/transport\/london-20mph-roads-impact-safety-b1229013.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">20mph zones<\/a> back into 30mph because what is that about? I know, I know \u2014 safety first \u2014 but sometimes you\u2019re just trying to get somewhere and it feels like you\u2019re in one of those dreams where you\u2019re trying to run but your legs aren\u2019t moving.<\/p>\n<p>Who is the most iconic Londoner?<\/p>\n<p>I would say Charles Dickens. He defined the entire Victorian era in London. And everywhere you go, you can catch a glimpse of a reference to him or his books. You walk through parts of the city and it feels like you\u2019re in one of his stories.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Eminem.jpeg\" width=\"3500\" height=\"2334\" alt=\"Eminem\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"sc-eqUAAy kRUyJB\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Sophie Turner says she loves the opportunity to perform an Eminem rap<\/p>\n<p>PA<\/p>\n<p>Where do you let your hair down?<\/p>\n<p>Definitely a karaoke bar, probably Moyagi \u2014 I love an opportunity to rap some Eminem. Or a Ronnie Scott\u2019s type place \u2014 it just feels like you\u2019re in another era in there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-fBWQRz ktAUpt\">I always call on my group of girlfriends. When we hang out, the decibels go up<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-hknOHE ecFcwj\">Sophie Turner<\/p>\n<p>Who do you call when you want to have fun? <\/p>\n<p>I always call any one of my group of 10 girlfriends. We\u2019ve been best friends since we were at school and we\u2019re still each others\u2019 number ones. When we hang out, the decibels go up, the energy and adrenaline start pumping and we can\u2019t not have the best time together. It\u2019s physically impossible. We\u2019ve seen each other through everything; break-ups, babies, weddings, funerals. They\u2019re my lifeline, I don\u2019t know what I would do without the homies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.standard.co.uk\/lifestyle\/gisele-pelicot-case-trial-verdict-rape-culture-mazan-dominique-pelicot-b1200504.html\" title=\"After the Gis\u00e8le Pelicot verdict, will anything change about &#039;the way we look at rape&#039;?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gis\u00e8le Pelicot<\/a> is my hero. She sacrificed her privacy and anonymity to put her husband\u2019s crimes against her in the public eye. To shed light on the sexual abuse of women. As a woman I am eternally grateful.<\/p>\n<p>My professional hero has to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.standard.co.uk\/culture\/tvfilm\/slow-horses-season-five-review-apple-tv-b1247797.html\" title=\"Slow Horses season five on Apple TV+ review: The silliest season yet \u2014 but is the fun finally over?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gary Oldman<\/a>. He\u2019s consistently excellent and versatile, and chooses interesting projects. And does it all purely for the love of the art.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-fBWQRz ktAUpt\">It\u2019s weird, but I love looking at all the names on the old gravestones in Brompton Cemetery. Plus there\u2019s allegedly a time machine there<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-hknOHE ecFcwj\">Sophie Turner<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s your favourite beauty spot?<\/p>\n<p>I have the best nail bar in Fulham. It\u2019s an unassuming place but they are incredibly fast, do the most long-lasting manicures and keep your nails in the best shape possible. It\u2019s called The Nail Creations, in Parsons Green.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s your London secret? <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a weird one \u2014 Brompton Cemetery. It\u2019s so beautiful there, I love looking at all the names on the old gravestones. Plus, there\u2019s allegedly a time machine in the middle of it.<\/p>\n<p>What are you up to for work?<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t say what I\u2019m working on right now but I do have three things coming out in the near future. Trust, a horror film for Paramount; Steal, a thriller series for Amazon; and The Dreadful, a film I shot here in the UK with the brilliant Kit Harington.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sophie Turner reveals why she never wants to leave London, plus the wellness, food and late night destinations&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":396270,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,393,4884,257,47389,25951,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-436405","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-london","12":"tag-my-london","13":"tag-sophie-turner","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115231746431568082","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=436405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/396270"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=436405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=436405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=436405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
