I'm a London-based freelance writer and editor. I can tell you where to find the city's best vintage (I wrote a book for Rough Guides on it), its greatest museums (I spent a decade working in one) and finest secondhand bookshops (I also collect and sell books in my spare time). I'm in the process of working on that for the rest of the world... Follow me on Twitter @francesambler or Instagram @francesambler_.
