Actress Sophie Turner shares her personal favorites across London, from family homes and luxurious staycations to ideal date spots and Sunday roasts.
Where She Calls Home
Turner lives in south-west London with her kids. After six years in the United States, she affirms her deep connection to the city. “I’ve always been a London girl at heart. I never want to leave again. It’s where my heart feels the fullest,” she says.
Top Staycation Spot
For staycations or visits, Turner chooses the Corinthia near Embankment. The spa offers an immersive escape with dim lighting, eucalyptus scents, exceptional massages, and a pool featuring twinkling ceiling lights. Rooms boast plush beds, blackout curtains, marble bathrooms, and ample closet space.
First Flat Memories
Her initial flat in Belsize Park remains cherished despite minimal decor. “Late nights with friends, takeaways on the floor, laughing until 2am, crying over boys, figuring life out… my old flat holds a lot of memories,” Turner reflects. The small, chaotic space symbolized freedom, and she smiles when passing by.
Perfect First Date
Kensington Gardens or Parsons Green suit ideal picnics. A sunny day with St-Germain Hugo spritzes, music, tasty food, and good company avoids restaurant awkwardness. It allows easy transitions to extended hangs while gauging chemistry.
Best Sunday Roast
Brook House in Fulham serves Turner’s favorite Sunday roast, shared with girlfriends. The chicken supreme and Yorkshire puddings stand out during their traditions.
Mayor for a Day
If mayor for a day, Turner would revert 20mph zones to 30mph. She acknowledges safety concerns but notes the frustration of slowed travel, likening it to dreamlike immobility.
Most Iconic Londoner
Charles Dickens defines the Victorian era, with references visible citywide. Walking certain areas evokes his stories.
Fun with Friends
Turner turns to her group of 10 school friends for high-energy hangs. “When we hang out, the decibels go up,” she says. They support each other through life’s milestones and remain her lifeline.
Her Hero
Gisèle Pelicot inspires Turner for exposing her husband’s crimes, highlighting women’s sexual abuse. Turner expresses eternal gratitude as a woman.
Favorite Beauty Spot
In Fulham, The Nail Creations in Parsons Green delivers fast, durable manicures in a modest setting, keeping nails in top condition.
London Secret
Turner enjoys Brompton Cemetery’s old gravestones and rumors of a time machine there.
Upcoming Projects
Current works include the horror film Trust for Paramount, thriller series Steal for Amazon, and The Dreadful, shot in the UK with Kit Harington.
As St-Germain ambassador, Turner highlights their Cannes pop-up on the French Riviera for summer cocktail hours and people-watching.
