Love in London: When chatting up the barman actually works

Available for over a year

London is a city of nine million people, and love blooms all across the capital. Every week Salma El-Wardany speaks to a different London couple about their love story. How they met, where, when, and what it all means to them - and we'll also hear some music they've chosen that's been important to their relationship. This week, Salma meets Alicia and Sandor, whose story is still very much in its infancy. It's just one year since they met, but already there's a strong bond between two people from two very different backgrounds. It begins with a classic love story cliché...a meeting in between bartender and customer - with a broken nail and stolen phone adding to their romantic plot.
