My friend Ninon Leader, who has died aged 88, was a many-sided scholar and broadcaster. From 1978 until 1993, living in London, she was senior programme organiser at the Hungarian section of the BBC World Service.
During these years, her radio series The Brits: A User’s Guide was a great success both in Britain and in Hungary. She wrote a book about the London she loved to explore, published in 2012 as Londonban Van, Hej, Sok Számos Utca… (There are Many Streets in London…), with the drawings of Mátyás Sárközi.
