arfa

This is Arfa Begg. She is the proprietor of Begg-Travel, Tooting Market, South London. Arfa is originally from Nairobi in Kenya and moved to Tooting 32 years ago. She specialises in travel to the African continent and can speak English, Urdu, Swahili & Punjabi. She loves living in Tooting and especially the fact that it’s so cosmopolitan, which reminds her of Nairobi which is also a real ‘melting pot of different cultures’. She informed me that ‘we all eat from the same plate, so we should all live together as one.’ 

Arfa was an inherently charming and positive person and I really enjoyed my chat with her. I forgot to ask if Wes Anderson did the interior design to her shop.
