Throughout the guided tour of #MerkyFC HQ - a state-of-the-art facility with a full-size football pitch, recording studio and gaming centre - there's a huge smile on Stormzy's face.

He says creating this space is comparable to securing a number one single or stepping out on a main stage at Glastonbury.

#MerkyFC HQ is in Croydon - minutes from where the 30-year-old lived and grew up. The space is primarily aimed at teenagers and young adults, but is open to residents of all ages.

So why did he want to build this new facility? And who is it for?

Stormzy has been speaking to the 大象传媒's Nesta McGregor.
