My dad grew up in Banbridge, Northern Ireland, desperate to get to London. I grew up in London, so I don't know what it's like to yearn for the big city from a small town.
Although I grew up in London, I spent summers in Missouri, where my dad lived. It's quite a liberal town, Kansas City. You'd be surprised.
I grew up in the small town of Haywards Heath, south of London.
I grew up in west London, but my dad wouldn't let me go to school there, so I went in south London.
I grew up in suburban New York City and London, England, where my dad was working.

I grew up in a small town about 40 miles outside London, but it was a fairly cosmopolitan household.
Ever since I was a little kid, I always dreamed of being a Big City kid, because I grew up in a very small town up north in Canada. I have to say I just love the city lights at night.
I grew up in New York City and in London.

My dad's Nigerian and I grew up in London, and that's just how it is.
I think, growing up in a small town - I grew up in a lot of different places. I grew up in a city environment, a more suburban environment, a more rural environment. That's the beauty of New Jersey is you get a lot of different types of living.
I'm from an Irish family and, even though I grew up in 80s London, I spent a lot of my childhood in southwest Ireland.
London is the most multicultural, mixed race place on Earth. And I love that. I grew up in a neighborhood in London where English wasn't necessarily the first language - maybe because of that, I love to travel. Every penny I've ever saved has been spent on airline tickets to different corners of the world. I think that's partly from growing up in London. I've taken that bit with me - this ability to fit in with any culture and be fascinated and respectful with any culture all started from growing up in London.
