Justine Timberlake - My London

Where do you stay in London?
There are so many great hotels but I particularly like Claridge's. It's definitely up there as one of my favourites - great interiors. After saying that, The Dorchester and Mandarin Oriental are pretty special, too.

What would you tell a tourist?
Don't worry the food's got better... just joking. Honestly, book yourself into a nice hotel and then go out exploring. Walk around Hyde Park and then go see London Bridge. There's so much great history.

What's the best meal you've had in London?
I had the most amazing meal with my friend and William Rast co-founder, Trace [Ayala], last night at Tamarind. It's this amazing Indian restaurant in Mayfair, always reliable and I literally ordered everything - tikka masala, spinach with potatoes - and they made me an amazing lamb stew. If you like Indian food, there's no better place than London.

What's your favourite pub?
Without a doubt The Punchbowl in Mayfair. I've had some fun nights there with my friends and it's got a great atmosphere.

If you were Mayor, what would you do first?
Oh, that's difficult. You're giving the wrong guy power. Rebel without a cause and all that... I'd definitely change the roads. I love London, especially at the moment with the weather and I don't even mind when it rains, but I just can't stand the traffic and there's no grid system, no rhyme or reason.

What are your secret London addresses?
Selfridges - whenever I talk to my friends, they're always saying how it's the greatest store in the world, never mind London. It's my one-stop shop for everything. I've had some memorable meals at Montpeliano in Knightsbridge and I always do Nobu when I'm over here.

What was the last album you downloaded?
Only By the Night by Kings of Leon. I really love their new material. Actually I don't know if it will see the light of day but I did a remix for them of 'Use Somebody', which is really cool so maybe you'll get to hear it. I met Caleb Followill and the boys and we hung out. I never knew but some of them used to live out in Middleton, Tennessee, a few miles from where I grew up playing baseball.

What was the last thing you saw in London?
I watched some tennis at Wimbledon which was amazing. I was supporting Andy Roddick, but I didn't get a chance to see Andy Murray, which was a shame. The last gig I caught was The Killers playing at Hyde Park Calling and they were great. I really wanted to see Bruce Springsteen at your very own 'Rainstonbury', but sadly I missed it. I hear it's notorious for being a mud bath but I'd like to go.

What makes you laugh?
The comedian Andy Samberg is really funny. He's done Saturday Night Live and I played in one of his sketches.

Have you been away recently?
I just came from Tennessee where I was spending time with family and friends. I'm a real family man so any opportunity I can I take to go home and eat well. It's a great time to be out there because it's hot and sticky with 120 per cent humidity. You just can't beat that.

What animal would you be?
I am an animal! Probably a bear, I've been called that a few times before, though I'm not sure why. I have a pretty round face and it's a bit hairy, maybe that's it. Or maybe I'm a monkey, a bit cheeky and up to no good.

What's on your tombstone?
The most bad-ass... no, just kidding. Always smiling; a nice, genuine guy who had some talent.
