I'm Suzy, a freelance journalist living in Dartmoor National Park, Devon, England, with my dog, Ziggy. We have a simple life, walking in the hills, meeting friends in the pub and making music (that's me and my friends - not Ziggy!) I'm very glad to be able to be share my much-loved London home with you.

Crouch End, in North London, is one of London's friendliest and most artistic neighbourhoods. Centred around a 19th century clocktower, it has lots of interesting independent shops, galleries and boutiques to explore and several world-class restaurants. It is also one of the greenest areas in London - we have two ancient woodlands on our doorstep - along with the Parkland Walk, a rewilded old railway track that runs across North London. The postcard-pretty villages of Highgate and Hampstead are close by, Hampstead Heath is 10 minutes away and events venue Alexandra Palace is a short bus ride away. Two local bus services provide quick and easy connection with London's extensive Underground and Rail network. You'll be in the centre within 40 minutes.
