Franki and her daughter Mally
(Picture: @franki.dammone)If you had asked her six years ago, Franki Dammone would have said she planned to live in Hackney forever. She loved the bars, the markets, the nightlife and the whole east London vibe, and felt she had found her spiritual home.
When daughters Mally, five, and Sunny, two, came along, living in London became a bit less fun. Babysitters were required if they wanted a night out, and they needed a larger home: the four-bedroom house they rented in De Beauvoir Town cost a punishing £4,000pcm.
