Too similar/evocative of the existing "Silicon Fen" just 50 miles north.

Yes but Silicon Ditch definitely evokes the grimey feel of Old Street. A founder of Huddle described Silicon Valley as Reading (UK) but with sun and palm trees. Even if you filled Old Street with sun and palm trees - it would still be grime - central (though I love working there).
