Hi, I am in a very similar situation, located in A'dam, The Netherlands, but I actually traveled a lot is one of my passions and nowadays still go clubbing.
You are in London, the best place for clubbing and a very nice base for traveling since most of the low cost flights are from and to London.
Check out Hospitality parties from Hospital Records, they come often to A'dam, also parties from RAM Records, Shogun Audio, Jungle Mania, Innovation, and others I am forgetting, this of course if you are into jungle music and drum and bass :-P
Do what you love, be original, don't worry about others trolling and be happy as you seen to be.
BIG UP !!
