Why London as opposed to Cambridge or some of the other areas with a lot of tech?

Cambridge is quite a nice town, but is is a small town; 20 pubs, 6 Indian restaurants, 1 cinema [1], not really comparable.

[1] not been there for a while, those numbers may well have changed

I think your numbers are off by about a factor of 3-5 or so.

Cambridge is nice (I lived there before the referendum), but it’s also tiny — the non-student population is slightly smaller than Apple’s total workforce.

Apart from anything else, the wages/housing cost ratio is far superior in London. And London just offers more as a place to live.
