The Team

Meet The Team

Long-time friends Alison and Leo own and run Veranda. Their combined passions of travel, books, music and food keep them busy and the conversation lively.

Meet Alison

Favourite Book

Changes all the time, but Amanda Svensson's 'A System So Magnificent It Is Blinding' stayed with me long after I finished reading it. Truly original.

Dream Destination

The Stockholm Archipelago in high Summer - just sublime.

London Hangout

London's music venues are legendary. The Moth Club in Hackney is my latest favourite.

Meet Leo

Favourite Book

Guapa by Saleem Haddad: “We all tell lies to protect our solitude. We deny the truth and present a false image of ourselves to blend into society.”

Dream Destination

Tokyo, and in particularly, Shimokitazawa, the area with the world's most perfect cafes

London Hangout

Camden Arts Centre: off the beaten track and low key, with consistently offbeat, always inspiring shows. Great cafe too!
