London Unattached Contributors

Fiona Maclean: Founder and Editor
A feisty food lover with itchy feet.  Fiona started her career working in hospitality marketing running marketing campaigns for a restaurant group.  Years later, after working in financial services, telecoms and for an integrated advertising agency, she’s ended up back where she began – covering food and travel for London Unattached.  She loves travel, opera, good food and wine. 

Simon Narracott – Wine and Food
Nice guy and tech whizz.  Simon is a keen photographer and loves a good glass of Margaux.  Invitations to vineyards always welcome here – he promises to make your vines shine!

 Adrian York (aka The Hedonist) – Restaurants and Bars
Musician, academic and writer Adrian York is a keen observer of restaurant culture and the gastronomic scene. His spiritual home is Soho where he is mostly to be found playing the piano, propping up a bar or holding forth about politics, art and culture from behind a restaurant table with a linen napkin on his lap and a glass of champagne in his hand.

Sarah James – Enjoys getting the most out of living in London; at the risk of being the oldest rock chic still loves going to gigs/festivals (even better if combined with food), shakes a mean cocktail and enjoys drinking them!  Loves the chance to try new foods and visit new places, restaurants, bars, hotels.

Alex McMeekin – Craft beer aficionado, Alex also loves good food, travel and the odd music festival.

Lucy Foxell – London born-and-bred, with theatre running through her veins and an insatiable appetite for this greatest of world cities. Frequently seen at the hippest most-happening bars and restaurants, camera in one hand champagne in the other, or reviewing the latest thing in Theatre-Land – it’s a tough schedule, but Lucy’s a Trooper. Nor is distance an obstacle. She’ll gladly travel to Catalonia, Cambodia or the Caribbean in search of culture, good times and the perfect sunset.

Nick Devonald – A frequent business traveller, Nick has spent a lot of his evenings sitting alone in restaurants around Northern and Central Europe, the Baltic states and the Middle East so really enjoys the chance to write about them from time to time. When not away, Nick tries to keep a finger on the cultural pulse of London by going to concerts and the theatre or at least reading the reviews. As he seems to know some countries better than his own, he particularly enjoys exploring towns and cities in the UK when he gets the chance.

Kay Woolley – With a background in marketing, Kay lives in Surrey and is the owner of a self-catering holiday cottage in Boscastle, North Cornwall an area she grew up in and loves to visit whenever possible. She has a passion for skiing and the mountains and has spent the last three winters working as a ski rep in the Alps. When not in the mountains or the West Country Kay loves to travel and experience new things.

Madeleine Morrow – Madeleine is a freelance journalist and writer for print and digital media. She focusses mainly on food and travel but with a lifelong love of the arts – especially visual arts, theatre and literature – she enjoys writing reviews for London Unattached. Madeleine has lived half her life in South Africa and the other in London which has widened her experiences of multiple cultures, languages and cuisines. Having grown up in a time when travel was restricted to local holidays, she has spent her adult life fulfilling a desire to see the world. She is a die-hard Francophile – speaking French helps tremendously – but put her anywhere and she is happy. Long haul destinations on the bucket list include China and Japan.

Jenny McGee – A tourism specialist with a focus on the UK, Jenny enjoys travelling around the UK, Europe and further afield.
