London is an endlessly fascinating place to live and explore and has a vibrant tech scene that seems to be quite unaffected (so far) from the cold winds of brexit. Extremely diverse and welcoming of newcomers. Highly recommended. Maybe we could have a list of some London startups? * memrise, busuu (language learning) * deliveroo (food delivery) * revolut, monzo (banking) * transferwise, gocardless (payments) * improbable ('cloud gaming platform') * roli (music tech) * lyst (fashion aggregator) * citymapper, trainline (maps and transport)

Probably not anymore (with BRexit).

  Now you comment that under a list of startups, it could've been a great startup name.

Just a small correction: Improbable are making a cloud gaming platform, not a game engine. https://improbable.io/games/blog/how-spatialos-works-with-game-engines https://improbable.io/games/blog/how-spatialos-works-with-ga...

I've worked for a number of really shitty London startups over the years. Just a note that YMMV when it comes to good thing. No I'm not willing to name and shame but most of them are totally dead now :)

  What was shitty about them? Anything because of London itself?

    Nothing London specific I suspect. Just that a lot of people in London aren't as friendly as people make them out to be.
