Hi I am in a similar situation :)

We are lucky this is in London because you can take RyanAir from any city to London for about 20€. There is no other city that you can fly to for this cheap! For sleeping I'm planning to spend 2 nights in a youth hostel for 30€/night. If anyone has any ideas for tech-related things to do the day after in London let me know.

Don't bother with a youth hostel, go on AirBnB and find yourself a nice room.
As much as I would like to support the YC startup AirBnB, with a quick search on hostels.com I found a bed for €13/night. A similar bed on AirBnB costs €20/night. I'm not sure what price I can achieve if I find a private room that allows me to split the price with others.
If you haven't made an account yet I could refer you to airbnb and you'll get a $25 credit. http://airbnb.ca/c/aalshurafa
Thanks for the referral. The $25 credit only applies (to me or you) when I book something with over a $75 base rate. So you won't get it today but next time I go on vacation for longer you will get it.
