IT consultant Seb has lived in London all his life, even studying biology at Imperial, and now lives right by the river in Chiswick. In his spare time, he’s sports-mad, with rock climbing and martial arts two of his favourite hobbies, and he reckons London has some of the best sports facilities in the world.
What’s your favourite thing about living in London?
I miss the countryside sometimes, but I think you get the best of both worlds living here. I’m pretty sporty and places like West 1 Climbing Wall help me keep fit and pretend I’m in the middle of nowhere even when I’m right in the centre of the city!
What’s your top London tip for tourists or those who are new in town?
If you look into the distance on a tube station platform, you can see the worn out bits where people get in and out of the tube. If you stand there, tube doors will always open right in front of you.
What’s been your favourite Google Places activity so far?
The ‘Introducing Google Places’ event at Google HQ - the steamed monkfish canapes were amazing!
Finally, can you share any of your favourite London places with us?
Blue Elephant in Fulham - This Thai restaurant is well worth going to for a special occasion. The inside’s essentially an indoor jungle with rivers and tropical trees, with the dining tables spread out amongst them. Go for Sunday brunch, when they do an all you can eat which is so different from the usual all you can eat - plenty here is handmade in front of you and it allows you to sample everything!

West 1 Climbing Wall - Climbing’s one of my favourite hobbies and this wall’s the best.
Crepe Parisienne cafe - This cafe has really friendly service, and I love the vegetarian and Greek breakfasts.
Cask Pub & Kitchen - The outside is a Sixties monstrosity but don’t be put off - if you like beers, this is a bit of a mecca. The range is amazing and so nice that I found myself sipping and swirling them like wines.
The View Tube - An ace cafe with a great view of the Olympic Park which is next door.
