Hi Mellors,

I know London pretty well, and also some people who have temporarily worked there. I remember that casual work is usually available in office temping or bar work. Bar work is easiest to get as you don't need an agency. Also there is front of house work in theatres and cinemas. You can just go in and ask about these jobs, as you can in hotels.

I think the best bar work is in and around Kensington, as there is a big turnover of young Australians coming and going, and the jobs change hands pretty quickly.

I might be completely off target for you, but it's a thought.

Cheers, M
