I moved to Kentish Town from Chelsea in 1983, partly because I had a lot of friends already living in the area and because it took an hour off the journey to my house in Suffolk. It has a villagey feel, and it's still a very mixed community, which I like.

I grew up in London. My parents and I lived in West Norwood, then we moved to Norbury, and I went to the Brit School. I'm a South London girl at heart.

My parents are from Manchester but I was brought up in London, Camden Town.

I'd love to live in Kent but it's all a question of work.

I spent my entire childhood in the same town, in Kent. I went to grade school there. There was a boarding school that my mother taught at, called - appropriately enough - Kent School, that I went to. Yeah, pretty much my entire childhood was spent in that town.

I grew up near King's Cross station in London, living in an apartment block where my dad was a caretaker.

I still live in the same town where I grew up.

I grew up in the suburbs.

I lived in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, until eighth grade, and then my high-school years were in Rochester, New York.

I used to visit London when I was younger with my family. I feel very close to the city.
