There are many startup and entrepreneur events on meetup.com, such as minibar, london bloggers.
Also, in terms of a geographical 'valley', there's Silicon Roundabout ( http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=silicon+roundabout&aq=f&aqi=g4g-m2&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=silicon+roundabout&... )
Ah, relatively low costs - that could be the kicker. London is an expensive place to live. That said, one can still live frugally by cooking for yourself rather than eating out, and the GBP has fallen in value so it's become a cheaper place for those dropping foreign currency.
Finally, GOOD LUCK in your venture - keep us posted on your unnamed product, and where you're heading, in whatever sense of the word :)
- dejv 16y agoI can recommend Brighton (100km south of London), which is great for new media kind of startups with huge pool of musicians, designers and such. It is also much cheaper than London.
- lgeek 16y agoNow that you're mentioning other cities in UK, I'm currently doing an internship at a startup in Oxford. From what the guys are saying, the city is a great environment for startups, with an active community and a number of VCs, but it's not that much more cheap than London.

- tomwalker 16y agoI can vouch for the expense of London :S
- MC27 16y agoLondon is indeed expensive, salaries for jobs are very high too, and unlike other parts of the UK - where jobs are posted and filled almost instantly, I've noticed London based start-ups seem to advertise the same dev jobs for months, even years.
