This City
Hello! I’m Clara Amfo and if there’s one thing I LOVE, it's exploring a city, especially the city I get to call home. So hello and welcome to my podcast, This City - which is all about the stories, places and people of wonderful London! Each episode, I’ll be joined by a well known friend who has tales to tell about the capital. We’ll be chatting about early memories, the fashion, the food, the music, the nights out, and of course, the night bus stories….! Welcome to This City!
