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!

Sophia Webster

They do say, before you judge someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes, and if you are judging this week's guest, you'd be certified to be in a pretty fantastic pair. Whether it's her trademark butterfly heels and just general, sleek, bright and bangin' designs, Sophia Webster has been responsible for dressing the feet of some of the world's most well-known women, whether it's Oprah, Jennifer Lopez, the Spice Girls, Michelle Obama, Kylie, the list goes on! She's doing it worldwide, but I w...

Reggie Yates

We've all met Reggie Yates in some way, shape or form, whether it was back in the day on kid's show Smile with that bum fluff and those cainrows, his acting in Grange Hill and various roles, or more recently where he's been taking us all around the world, lifting the lid on hidden parts of society. And that varied career started in London! If you happen to go to any of the places mentioned in today's episode, why not let me know by posting a picture with the hashtag #ThisCityPod, and make sure y...

Joy Crookes

Joy Crookes is swiftly carving a place in the hearts and minds of so many, and she's showing no signs of stopping yet. Collecting accolades left and right, from the BRITs to NME, she speaks her truth in a way that I really respect. It’s almost impossible to listen to Joy's music without feeling some kind of way, and given that so many of her tracks are steeped in South London soul, I think it’s only fair to delve a bit deeper into her relationship with London. If you happen to go to any of the p...

Louis Theroux

This week’s guest is right up there in the kingdom of documentary royalty. Louis Theroux's work has seen him come face to face with everyone from the so called most hated family in America to members of the survivalist movements, and he does so with his signature style which inevitably resulted in plenty of iconic & memorable moments. While he’s spent a significant amount of time all over the world, I of course, want to hear more about his relationship with this great city... If you happen t...

Dina Asher-Smith

It’s not often that you get to sit face to face with someone who has smashed as many records and made history as often as my guest this week has. In fact, she’s currently the proud holder of the title of fastest British woman in history - but don’t worry, we’ll be taking our time today. I'm of course talking about Dina Asher-Smith, and while she can be found sprinting all over the world, it all started in the city we call London.

Ncuti Gatwa

It’s rare for someone to capture our hearts as quickly as this week’s guest did. After stealing the show as Eric on Netflix’s Sex Education, Ncuti Gatwa has continued to make waves both on and off the screen and stage. He’s known for his powerful performances, but I want to hear about the places that contributed to them... If you happen to go to any of the places mentioned in today's episode, why not let me know by posting a picture with the hashtag #ThisCityPod, and make sure you tell them who ...

Mo The Comedian

There aren’t many people who can say Drake has referenced one of their comedy sketches, but my guest this week is one of them... I am, of course, talking about Mo ‘The Comedian’ Gilligan! Between getting us all shouting at Julie to bring us a couple of cans, to gracing our screens with The Lateish Show or his Netflix specials, he’s had a huge impact on the comedy scene - and he did it all from the capital. If you happen to go to any of the places mentioned in today's episode, why not let me know...
