Will Sawyer Most of Will's spare time is spent playing video games, but when he isn't doing that, he enjoys playing the piano, photography and cooking.
John Beesley John lives in Hounslow. He enjoys beer and singing with barbershop quartets and choruses, though not necessarily in that order.	Emily Dexter Emily is creative and has wide-ranging interests.

Bear Hutchison Bear loves to travel, listen to folk music and read. Her favourite part of South West London is the vibrancy of Clapham Common on a weekend - even in the cold winter, you can always spot some dogs or even a bit of quidditch!
