27 yo male looking for room in East London

Hi I'm Will, I'm 27 years old and moving to London to start a job in conservation (monitoring biodiversity in Epping Forest and feeding that into its management). Prior to this I completed a PhD in biology, so my main interest is in nature/the environment, particularly butterflies and moths (the focus of my research) which I am often out looking for at the weekends. During the week I am often working on projects related to this, and otherwise usual interests - enjoy cooking for friends (I'm veggie), bit of running, watching films, gardening (grow a lot of wildflowers at the moment, but want to get more into veg!). I've lived in shared houses for 7 years and always enjoyed the experience, and my main motivation for moving to London is to meet new people and expand my horizons culturally and socially a bit, so I'm open-minded, relaxed, and really keen to contribute to the community in any place I move into. Very happy with pets too, have lived with dogs all my life. Looking to live somewhere with a bit of space, and a relaxed and social atmosphere.
