Author Biography

Matt Brown is Editor-at-Large for Londonist and is probably the most London-obsessed person in the world. In the cause of exploring London, he has waded along the buried River Fleet, spent the night in a haunted plague pit, caught a lung infection by climbing Soho’s tallest steeple, and walked along the tracks beneath Leicester Square at 2:00 a.m.. Matt has lived in many neighborhoods in the city, but thanks to the capital’s obscene property prices, he’s since gone into exile in what he optimistically refers to as “The Future London Borough of Elstree and Borehamwood.”
