I'm a journalist who lives in London, which suits me quite well as writing and trying to make the most of all the capital has to offer are two of my favourite past times. I work as UK social media editor for BuzzFeed News. You can follow me on Twitter @andydangerfield. Here you can find a selection of my articles, which have appeared on the BBC, in various newspapers and magazines.
