So just a small point because I think the names cause some confusion -- the organisation "Tech City UK" is based out of a small, desks-only office somewhere near Moorgate. Used to be a similar set up just north of the Old St roundabout. It's low key and really not an events space. My feeling is that Tech City UK is a lean, good value organisation. There's also the neighbourhood loosely called "Tech City" which is Old St and east London generally, but I'm not sure how much that name has currency any longer. When it launched with that name - loads of fanfare, trumpets, press etc - Google Campus opened at the same time, as an events and co-working space. It's fancy. So for a lot of people Google Campus == Tech City. Separate entities tho. You may have been to meetups hosted there or somewhere like it? And I have to say, a lot of my current goodwill towards Google is based on them opening Google Campus. Exactly the right intervention to catalyse the neighbourhood at just the right time. On your point (4) -- Tech City UK's big focus right now is on the north of England. Tech North opened a month or so back to promote and help out, getting the startup ecosystem to properly take root across those cities.
