Never is a strong word. I agree with you on the VC front; but talent-front, I am so blown away w/ what London has to offer. Plus excellent schemes like Entrepreneur First are really changing stuff.
But the attitudes of investors is lacking massively: Aaron Harris tweeted that "When reading YC apps, the most important question isn't "Why could this fail?" but "How could this be incredible?"" -- this sentiment needs to seep into the minds here, who seem more focused on risk aversion than optimising for upside.
I hope this is the 'easy' bit to change (I'm not sure). My gut says it's an old guard that will eventually be replaced.
