From Canary Wharf, we travelled to Shoreditch, where we had coffee at Shoreditch House: a private Members' club in the heart of Shoreditch, East London, which hosts several bars and dining rooms, together with a bowling alley, sauna and steam rooms, a gym, a games room and a rooftop heated open-air swimming pool.
Over coffee in the snug, with panoramic views over shoreditch, Giovanna Forte told us her inspirational life story, from secretarial student, through various PR activities, to how she came to be MD of Peezy - a company making female-friendly urine sampling devices. She also talked about the local area and how concerned local residents had set up the Save Shoreditch campaign to challenge the encroachment of the City into the vibrant, somewhat bohemian melting-pot that is Shoreditch today.
