I think we're doing alright in London? Pop over to Silicon Roundabout and every bar man will want to tell you about his App. There's start-ups and incubators everywhere. The one thing we don't have the same structure of is VCs - the US kills us there. It's growing though, and the government is really pushing to grow it further.

Slightly OT: what would be best places in Silicon Roundabout to hang out for a software engineer who's thinking about (but not quite ready yet) of starting his own gig? Google Campus closes at the same time I finish work in The City, it's a bit of a shame.

I'd hop on meetup.com -- most of the tech / startup events are around Shoreditch. Things like 3beards, open coffee (tot ct rd way), don't pitch me bro, etc.

Or see what's on at tech hub, innovation warehouse, etc.
