I’m blind: from Big Ben to Lime Bikes, this is how London is for me

“Helloooo how are you?” I hear a man’s voice exclaim. Standing on the Euston road holding onto my guide dog Miss Molly’s harness whilst my ears are filled with sirens, travellers with wheelie suitcases dragging on the concrete and the smell of petrol up my nose I turn to reply and say hi. ‘Maybe I know this man’ I think. Before I reply he starts talking about the stock market and I deduce that he’s on his phone.

The hustle and bustle of London is something that always keeps me and my guide dog on our toes. We’ve just arrived after our commute from Birmingham on the train. I love working in the city for my job as a broadcaster and content creator. Miss Molly knows exactly where to go as we’re here most weeks.
