Deepa Patel
Director, Slow Down London
Deepa Patel is director of Slow Down London.
Her journey to slowness started 6 years ago, after a near fatal asthma attack had her reassessing the speed at which she was leading life. She says 'Between work and a hunger to take in all that London offers I had little time to relax. Slowing down has been a SLOW process! Often two steps back and one forward. But life today is different: less multitasking, more attention to what is in front of me; less busyness and more time doing nothing which has led to more spontaneity and chance to truly enjoy this city.’
