Go to Silicon Drinkabout (http://silicondrinkabout.com or Hacker News London and talk to some startups. There are many highly funded startups that would love to have you on board. There are a number of big web startups in London with hundreds of employees and many of these founders go to these events.

As another user said http://hackerjobs.co.uk is also a great resource. Look past Twitter, Facebook, Google.

I've been to all the meetups you mention. Some of the contacts I got there were incredibly useful, but nothing led to an interesting opportunity.

I see you're very integrated in the community, could you maybe mention couple of companies you think are interesting? Maybe they went past my radar.
