Celeste has experienced the magic of Camden Market<\/a> and the capital\u2019s best gigs, but nothing says London<\/a> quite like a home-cooked meal with her closest friends. <\/p>\n I suppose it\u2019s my house which holds all these different parts of what my world is inside; my internal world and my external world. <\/p>\n What is your favourite pub? <\/p>\n I don\u2019t really drink so I’m not a pub person, but I’ve been to The Eagle in Clerkenwell<\/a> for dinner and the food is really amazing. I like it because you don\u2019t have to dress up \u2014 you can just be relaxed. <\/p>\n What\u2019s the first thing you do when you get back to London? <\/p>\n Usually, I just call everyone that I haven\u2019t seen for a couple of months and then try to meet up or go for a walk. And I usually go to the steam room<\/a> to try and get rid of that tired feeling. <\/p>\n Getty Images<\/p>\n What is your earliest London memory? <\/p>\n My earliest London<\/a> memory is probably going to Camden Market<\/a> with my mum. I remember she bought this amethyst purple choker necklace. I was about 5 or 6 and I\u2019d always ask to borrow it, but it was her special item that I couldn\u2019t wear as a child. <\/p>\n I don\u2019t know if it was on the same day but I remember going to this spell shop in Covent Garden. And then I did this love spell on this boy at school. I think it actually worked! <\/p>\n What was the last gig you went to in London? <\/p>\n It was a night called Jazz Refreshed and my friend Loren did this improv synthesiser set. There was a sense that this is a really important form of expression and to go to a show where someone is totally improvising with no rehearsals is not something that you experience very often.<\/p>\n It felt like a reflection of the way that people hold themselves back in the world and it was just a life affirming moment to be at this gig. <\/p>\n AFP via Getty Images<\/p>\n What shops do you rely on? <\/p>\n The shop I rely on is Fig and Grain on Broadway Market. It\u2019s where I get all my food shopping \u2013 good ingredients are really important. <\/p>\n But clothing<\/a> is any little vintage market. I still go to Portobello Market in Notting Hill and vintage archives<\/a> in London. There are a lot of archives I go to for renting or buying pieces. <\/p>\n Where is the best first date spot? <\/p>\n I like to be quite private about these things so I usually invite the person to my house for a cup of tea. Spontaneity is important \u2014 not like sitting opposite each other at a restaurant. It\u2019s too formal. <\/p>\n What would you do if you were Mayor of London for the day?<\/p>\n I\u2019d like to shut down all the major institutions and let people have a moment of freedom without having to exist within these pillars that we have got so used to having to conform to. Maybe people lose their heads and go out in the streets and go mad. <\/p>\n My favourite Londoner is… <\/p>\n It\u2019s probably the Tube. Sometimes I\u2019ll leave ten minutes before I\u2019m supposed to be somewhere and I\u2019ll miraculously make it on time because of the Tube. It\u2019s my favourite Londoner personified.<\/p>\n Supplied<\/p>\n If you could live in any London building, which would it be?<\/p>\n I would try and get some massive house in Holland Park. Actually, the Cosmic House<\/a> in Holland Park! It\u2019s this 1970s postmodern interior design house. I love that house but I wouldn\u2019t actually live in it, because I think everyone should be able to see it like a museum. <\/p>\n My favourite London meal is… <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/SEI166058613.jpg\")
