Journalist Lyse Doucet shares her London loves and loathes with Robert Elms.
Lyse Doucet is the BBC’s Chief International Correspondent, and one of its senior presenters.
She is originally from New Brunswick in Francophone south-eastern Canada. But she grew up in an Anglophone household with Acadian and Irish heritage.
Lyse began working for the BBC in the early 80s, and across a remarkably storied career she’s reported from countries across the Middle East and Asia - including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Libya, Indonesia and India.
She’s lived in London on and off throughout that time. She has a new book out called The Finest Hotel in Kabul.
Lyse Doucet reveals her favourite haunts, memories, pet hates and everything in between with Robert Elms.
