Sophie Campbell
Journalist
Sophie writes regularly for Telegraph Travel, with a focus on London and UK heritage, and contributes to many other publications such as Condé Nast Traveller, House & Garden and the Financial Times.
With an Argentine father, a mother born in India and a childhood in Asia and Africa, travel was the obvious option, but she started as an advertising copywriter in London before moving to South East Asia.
She has been a print travel journalist since 1990, presented a series of BBC2’s The Travel Show, does occasional guest slots on TV and loves taking journalism and printing walks along Fleet Street.
