Alex Landon

Lovably referred to as 'Secret Landon', Alex is Secret London's Deputy Editor. Despite spending most of his life in Somerset and Durham, London is (almost) in his name, so he relocated to the capital and fell in love with it. On days off, you'll find him eating all of London's street food, lost in a bookshop, or shouting at his beloved ice hockey team, the Minnesota Wild.
