South London now has its own version of Forbes’s famous 30 Under 30 influencer list.
The 30 South of 30 recognizes those under 30 years of age, from a variety of different professions, who are all putting South London on the map.
The list features six from the borough of Southwark. Here they are:
1. Kai & Amanda from Att Pynta
