RICKY’S LONDON

Favourite London restaurant: The Ivy, because it panders to my proletarian tastes. Well, proletarian with money to spend. I’m quite squeamish with food - I can basically eat chicken and mince - and I like their shepherd’s pie. I have been known to go to posh restaurants and have fish and chips on the way back.

I love to walk: from Teddington to Richmond. Really lovely. Feels a bit like you could be in the country.
The last film I saw: Martin Scorsese’s The Departed. It went straight into my top 10. When it started, I got a little tingle and thought, I’m going to love the next two hours - and I did.

What’s on my iPod: Dylan, Neil Young, David Bowie, Cat Stevens, some folk, U2, Radiohead, Coldplay - all the big boys. And The Killers, who are my new favourite band.
Favourite London building: The University of London Senate House in Bloomsbury. I love that 1930s architecture. So strong and austere. I’ve never got bored of that building and I walk by it every day.
