Author: Rebecca Clark

Rebecca Clark has a 9-5 desk job with a decent annual leave entitlement and a good pension, but often wishes that she were a freelance writer with a shed at the bottom of her (imagined) garden where she could write all day, stepping out to tend the vegetable patch in said imagined garden from time to time. Rebecca completed her BA in Geography at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. She is a born, raised and currently-residing north Londoner, who remains fiercely loyal to that side of the river, but has recently begun to appreciate all that south of the Thames has to offer. She is a sporadic blogger and a prolific Instagrammer (@beckyteacups), documenting with photos and words her London life, things she cooks, places she visits, bodies of water she swims in, and books she has read.
