Amanda David

In 2012 I began a blog about going out in London, called London Girl About Town; this was alongside my day job. This organically moved to Instagram but I have kept LondonGAT as my Instagram name.

I started writing for Chatting Food in 2019 then gave up my day job in the summer of 2021 to write full-time, as lockdown was lifting. I started with London Cheapo as a freelance writer at the end of that year and wrote my first piece for Palate Magazine the following spring.

I am launching a Substack about eating out in London in the next few months and aim to write individual pieces for a range of different publications this year.

I am a keen home cook and love to feed people.
