Since retiring from teaching English at Ashford School in 2010, Jenny qualified as a London Blue Badge Guide and as a guide to the City of Canterbury. Her specialist interests include Shakespeare and the literature of war, and she has been obsessed with the history and culture of London ever since childhood.
