actually... if you are in the UK and into games its a great place for that - plenty of studios around. Although mostly in the south east there are well known studios in Scotland, Ireland and the north and midlands. Rockstar, Havok, Ubisoft, Natural Motion, Rebellion and Codemasters come to mind as a few of the bigger names who have studios further from London. however the tech requirement for AAA is almost exclusively C/C++ (with good hardware and API knowledge strongly preferred for some specialities like audio, rendering, physics, AI, networking...) Things like C#, Java, Ruby, Python will be limited to internal tools - although there are a lot of smaller companies making HTML5, JavaScript or Unity games or even still flash games which are aimed at the broswer.
