Hi Lee
I live in the UK and just wanted to say hi. I'm based in Devon but travel a lot in my job and am in London 2-3 times a month for work, but it's usually there and back. So although I can't meet, I did just want to say hello, wish you luck - maybe try sending personal messages to people who give their location in their profile? Or try MeetUp? Or BorrowMyDoggy?! The last two work for me!
