Question of the week: Do you have a favourite London possession? "If you mean something that might be classes as a souvenir, if you squint, then - I have a pair of earrings that just mean London to me. They're by Amelia Parker, and are made from fragments of 16th/17th century pipe stems, which have survived being buried in the mud alongside the Thames. The pair I have are a fantastic smoky grey-blue, which reminds me of the river and the grey city streets, as well as being a little bit of wearable history. I got them at a crafts fair at the Museum of London Docklands, for an extra dash of London."- Miss Alice
