I wrote about two things I love, London and archives, for @theroostlondon. theroost.substack.com/p/exploring-lo…
really quite bittersweet as it's our last piece on @theroostlondon but really very happy to have commissioned and edited this incredible essay on exploring London through digital archives, it's such a lovely bit of writing: theroost.substack.com/p/exploring-lo…
I had a blast writing this piece about London's Pie and Mash Club - a social lunchtime group devoted to the city's original fast-food from the 1800s - for @theroostlondon theroost.substack.com/p/inside-londo…
Oh my god — this, by @fgoodway for @theroostlondon combines *so many* of my favourite themes — death, London, history, & land rights! & there's a Buffy reference, feel truly blessed. theroost.substack.com/p/on-death-in-…
great piece, even greater intro - @fgoodway looked into the history (and current practicalities) of dying in London for @theroostlondon: theroost.substack.com/p/on-death-in-…

This week's piece is up, and free to read! Here is @cp_tosti on two very different Italian cafés in the same south London neighbourhood, and what they tell us about the different waves of Italian migration to Britain: theroost.substack.com/p/a-tale-of-tw…
theroost.substack.com/p/the-surprisi… I've written about York Hall for this week's @theroostlondon; exploring how a local leisure centre became one of the most venerated boxing and wrestling venues. Thanks to @oggypart3, @Rich_Fann, @TheOJMO & @stephaniemchase for talking to me for the article

@theroostlondon Well, I’m sorry to hear that. I’d wanted to write for you, so I hope you come back :)
@youngvulgarian @fgoodway @theroostlondon Ty for this great piece! Wonderfully, on the same subject:
@theroostlondon @Lifesawindow Opened the email and immediately searched 'Peckhamplex'. Wasn't disappointed
@youngvulgarian @theroostlondon It is good. You should.
Enjoying @theroostlondon’s weekly briefs. This week’s - on Chinatown’s hidden noodle factory - is a treat. theroost.substack.com
The articles so far released have been very good! The piece on Stratford really resonated (speaking as someone who lives just the other side of the Olympic Park regeneration zone).
This month, we’re moving to half a paywall - two of our articles will be free, and two only sent to paying subscribers. If you would like to receive all four pieces and support us, do subscribe today: theroost.substack.com/subscribe
@theroostlondon Thanks, found a way round it. Monthy subscriber now.
So happy to have my piece on London's islanders published in @theroostlondon today! Thanks for the commission @youngvulgarian #lovelondon
This week's piece is up! On the Londoners who live on islands: theroost.substack.com/p/the-londoner…
@katbrown @agnesfrim @youngvulgarian @theroostlondon @EbonyHorseClub Thistle was such a good read!
Loved reading this. Of course I did, I’m such an unreconstructed pony girl. 🐴❤️
Our first post is up! The wonderful @katbrown wrote about the unexpected horses of London, and the joys of taking up horse riding in the city: theroost.substack.com/p/the-unexpect…
WOOP WOOP well done @youngvulgarian and @katbrown - the first @theroostlondon piece is out! If you haven’t already (what are you doing?!) subscribe!
Our first post is up! The wonderful @katbrown wrote about the unexpected horses of London, and the joys of taking up horse riding in the city: theroost.substack.com/p/the-unexpect…
High bar set by @theroostlondon ‘s opening article - @katbrown explores how to ride in the city, including where to find a scheme offering therapy horses.
Our first post is up! The wonderful @katbrown wrote about the unexpected horses of London, and the joys of taking up horse riding in the city: theroost.substack.com/p/the-unexpect…
@theroostlondon @youngvulgarian @katbrown I love going past those ponies any time I'm in the vicinity of IKEA 😍
@darryl1974 @theroostlondon Thank you! (And LOVE that. Yes, always enjoyable to eg turn right at Millwall and come across a group of extremely large Belgian draughts just hanging peaceably by a horse box.)
Really interesting idea, and as a (now lapsed) Londoner, I look forward to reading. Good luck to @theroostlondon & @youngvulgarian Meet London’s newest newsletter The Roost, using Substack to 'bring the magic back into London living': pressgazette.co.uk/london-newslet… - via:@pressgazette
Genius! A new newsletter about London by Londoners, brainchild of @youngvulgarian Frankly, she had me at "Eurovision contest for London’s 32 boroughs." Go to @theroostlondon to sign up.
"We Londoners resentfully recognise that the rest of the country does not care about us as much as we care about ourselves." The capital is getting a new newsletter that founder @youngvulgarian hopes will "bring the magic back into London living". pressgazette.co.uk/london-newslet…
@theroostlondon @youngvulgarian How exciting. I signed up free for now as I'm in my *first ever* month of full-time freelancing and I'm currently too scared to even buy a coffee. But once those first invoices clear? Take my money! (should be 2 weeks/could be 1 year 😂)
@theroostlondon This sounds great - looking forward to reading the first pieces!
A cheeseburger correspondent? Illegal Bhangra raves? Eurovision but for the 32 London boroughs? Freelance journalist @youngvulgarian spoke exclusively to Press Gazette about her plans for her new London-focused newsletter @theroostlondon. pressgazette.co.uk/london-newslet…
