Hey Peter, Well since you're form London as well I assume you've caught the news of the Guardian moving some of its backend to Scala?
There's a bunch of businesses that are also starting to investigate polyglot programming, one investment bank I know for example is using Clojure for statistical log analysis. There's also a ton of small businesses and start ups blending various languages on the JVM (using Grails to build their UI for example), you only have to look a the Skillsmatter job board to see that trend increasing (even companies like Sky and the BBC).
