I'm pretty sure there's some kind of "Agile Tuesday" group that meets up on Tuesdays. I'd find them, turn up and ask around. I'd also suggest XP day but I have a feeling that might have been in December.
Bear in mind this is FWIW from someone living in NYC who goes over to London once or twice a year for a day or two to present at conferences. So you may get better advice from someone else.
Best Wishes,
Peter

Peter's advice is right on when he suggests that XTC is a good place to find the kinds of opportunities you're looking for.
Now, if you were in Portland OR....

Currently that seems to lead to higher competition for jobs among the
capable Agile developers and slightly lowered competition for the
others. It's not enough to make the companies sit up and take notice,
but it is enough to make it hard on developers who /really/ want to work
in a place that "gets" Agile.
That's why the "bad companies" won't just die off, and we'll continue to
have to educate people and help them become "good companies."
