Emma is best known for their portrayal of the late Diana, Princess of Wales in Netflix drama The Crown, relocated to the coastal town from London in 2023 and has since become immersed in Margate life.
‘I really love it,’ they told Jessie and Lennie Ware’s Table Manners podcast of the town and their favourite local haunts.
‘Curve Coffee is amazing. It’s adjacent to the town, just above the high street, in a little square. Curve does the best Kimchi toastie you will ever try, it’s so good.’

‘I’m really bad at eating out in London, I never do it,’ they said. ‘In Margate I do it, because everything’s really close.
‘Where I always go is High Dive. They started with a tiny little place, on the harbour arm, and it’s tacos and enchiladas and stuff like that. It’s so good. They do the most insane spicy margaritas.’
