Rob, Your enthusiasm for UX will warm many hearts on this site.
It would be tough to give a full answer here. I'll give you a few pointers ... Firstly, there is no IxDA in London. There are a couple of IxDA initiatives happening and another couple coming soon, but no formal organisation. There is however, a strong large and vibrant UX community. There is the UPA http://ukupa.org.uk, which holds an event every month. It might be worth you coming to one of those. You'd get to meet many UX people. There was due to be one this Thursday, but I'm not sure that it's happening. There are a few other things going on, such as the big conference in June UXLondon http://www.uxlondon.com/ There is also the mini IAconference with its associated website http://london-ia.ning.com/ (IA is a type of UX design) There are several agencies specialising in this work, for example, www.system-concepts.com, www.flowinteractive.com, www.userfocus.co.uk, www.cxpartners.co.uk, http://clearleft.com/ I don't want to attempt to make a complete list. If they're listening they'll post themselves. There are also many micro-consultancies and individuals, such as myself (www.manwomanandchild.com), doing work in this field. There is also a handful of recruitment consultants who have specialised in this field. I can dig out websites/emails if you want. Web and Mobile are the two big specialities, so experience outside of those two might be something you'll need to seek out some more. As with any community in which someone takes an interest, I'm sure people will be delighted to share perspectives etc. Feel free to contact me (details all on website), if you'd like to talk further, get a couple of introductions.
