Peter moved to London in the spring of 2010, gravitating downwards
from ‘the North’ over a number of years. With a background in
science, he enjoyed dabbling in scientific writing to the point where
he realised the writing part was actually what he liked the most, and promptly took it up full time. Even in his limited time in the Big Smoke, he has already found nothing is quite like London if you want to vent some creative waves, become a volunteer radio presenter or, let’s say, join a semi-unsuccessful Ska-Punk band. Turns out this Northerner feels really quite at home now.

Bank’s Restaurant Sauterelle
The food was certainly at a high standard, but apart from the lamb the flavours were just a little shy for my taste
