We chat to Welsh actor, LGBT activist and creator Scott McGlynn who spends his time between London and Cardiff to find out his favourite spots in the city.

I'm a city guy so I enjoy seeing the life London has - from the restaurants I've eaten in to so many new places I've visited over the months that I love! It's never the same. There are so many more places I like to go to and I'm open to suggestions too. It's fun being a tourist and enjoying the city. 

When I'm in London I'm mostly there for work so normally it's where the job is, but I love Leicester Square and Covent Garden, I'm happy to grab a coffee or a wine and watch the world go by in these areas. I do enjoy going to Trafalgar Square even though it's busy. I  find it a peaceful place and I think it's the fountains that make it relaxing. 

I eat out a lot so I have so many favourite places, but the best include Ponti's Italian Kitchen, EL&N London, Hard Rock Cafe, China Town and Mr White's. I love them all, especially the service and how they look after me - that's why I love going back. For drinks I love LSQ Rooftop and this classic British pub in Paddington, which I love going to but I can't remember the name of, and pretty much anywhere that sells a drink makes me happy to be honest.

I have done the tourist things like The London Eye, Madame Tussauds and Sea Life Centre London Aquarium which I still enjoy but I still have some yet to do. I really want to do  the Tomb Raider Live Experience and The Crystal Maze. For shopping I love Zara, wherever I am and H&M because London has the biggest stores. I have not experienced the markets yet but they're on my list for sure!
