\nThe son of theatre director and polymath Jonathan Miller, on moving back to the London street where he grew upTen years ago, William Miller, a former TV producer turned entrepreneur, bought a house in Gloucester Crescent, in Camden, north London.

Then I woke up one day, and thought: \u2018Jesus, he\u2019s there, and he can hear me, and I can hear him.\u2019 It was like 25 years of effort had gone out of the window in a moment of folly.\u201d Continue reading…
