Article commenters were surprised about the high London figures. Here in the UK, I've seen massive growth in the hacker community at the grassroots level. The Hacker News meetup (http://www.meetup.com/HNLondon/ http://www.meetup.com/HNLondon/) was 20 people in a pub back in 2010. Now it's 400-500 hackers in a large auditorium every month. Google Campus in East London is full to bursting every day with people working on their own projects. It's pretty inspiring to be a techie "between jobs" here in London
