Useful blog, thanks. I'm always looking for heads up on startuppy stuff happening around London.

What's surprised me is how few people you actually need to make a city feel like a proper community, once you get those people talking to each other. We organize a london startup poker night and have been benefiting from a couple nearby shared offices -- that little bit of contact has made a world of difference. You need access to other founders, but not as many as one would suppose based on idolizing SF.
