Well deserved....

'Journalist, author, and TV and radio presenter, Robert Elms, whose multi-award-winning daily
BBC Radio London show has run for 32 years, has received the Freedom of the City of London
at Guildhall today.

Widely regarded as one of the most distinctive voices in British media, Robert has been recognised
for his outstanding contribution to the cultural life of London during a career spanning nearly 50 years.

Educated at London School of Economics, Robert’s career began at The Face magazine in the 1980s,
where he became a noted cultural commentator and went on to write for most of the UK’s major
newspapers and magazines.

As a broadcaster, Robert rose to prominence on BBC Radio 4’s Loose Ends and enjoyed success as a
travel writer for The Sunday Times and GQ magazine, as well as presenting Channel 4’s Travelog series.

He has written six books, including the Penguin novel, In Search of the Crack, London Made Us, and Blitz:
The Club That Created the Eighties. https://bit.ly/46Btcod'
