Are you in reach of London? If so, look at start-ups in London, there's a lot of demand for experienced devs, a lot, and while you might find ageism in some of them, in many others being an outlier or oddball is a positive advantage, really depends on the culture of the particular place. I speak as an old-git senior dev working in start-ups in London (and really rather enjoying it).

I fully agree, I don't think many London companies can afford to reject good candidates only because of age. Recently, I had the exact opposite experience, where an older candidate turned down an offer because they didn't want to report to a significantly younger manager.
