They met at work on Dean Street in Soho, but didn’t get together until after Charlotte left; they’d always got on but it took a while to realise there was more to it than that. “It was Charlotte head butting me in jest on a night out with friends when it all started,” Alex laughs. “We began dating and spent a lot of time exploring the bars of Soho through a shared love of noodles and bloody Marys.
