Outside of work Paul likes to make best use of all the good things London has to offer – theatre, art galleries, eating out (especially), bars, clubs and the occasional visit to the opera. When he manages to escape out of London, Paul likes country/coastal walks (sounds healthy but there’s usually a pub visit along the way!)
