Interview about Bridgerton

It was a pleasure to be interviewed by Signature’s blog, about my acting and writing – and about working on Bridgerton Season 3. (Part I and II out now on Netflix!😁). Read all about it here.

CITY OF WOMEN: My name on the London tube map

Renni Eddo-Lodge, Emma Watson and Rebecca Solnit led a project in which they replaced the name of every tube map in London with the name of a woman or collective. I’m proud and honoured to be Harlesden, which is where I grew up in London. You can view the interactive tube map here

Reading about all the brilliant women on the map is absolutely fascinating and inspiring.

There was lots of press when it launched (I am very late to update my blog on this!). Here is Renni Eddo Lodge in the Guardian.
