History has always been about stories to me. Beyond the dates and books are people who loved, fought, created, travelled and lived lives just as complicated as our own. After spending years studying History and completing my degree, I realised I didn’t want my love for the past to end when university did.

The History Room is my way of bringing that passion into The Literary Lounge. It’s a space where I can use what I’ve learned, continue discovering new stories and share the people, places and moments that fascinate me. From ancient ruins and historic cities to the forgotten corners of Nottingham and the history hiding behind the books we love, this is where my love of history and storytelling come together.
