Henrika Johanna Sofia Priest

Originally from Sweden, I’ve lived in the UK since 1988 and in the Ward since 1997. I spent over 20 years in the City working in the financial services sector before moving from my last position with the New York Stock Exchange to my current role as Event Marketing Campaign Manager with Jones Lang LaSalle, a property advisory firm. Having lived on Fleet Street, in my ward, for over 25 years, I’ve always taken a keen interest in the local neighbourhood and the issues affecting my constituents. In particular, I’ve represented Ward residents’ views on numerous licensing and planning applications, as well as working on other issues such as homelessness specific to the Ward but also the City as a whole. I like to spend my spare time on the Kent coast where I sometimes get to participate in regular beach cleans, and back in London using my Thames Foreshore Permit for the odd spot of mud larking.
