Yeah, the London tech scene is big.
It's funny how meetups have taken over universities as the place to be for the best knowledge transfer.
As you say, it is way easier to host things at companies, coworking spaces, coffee shops, and pubs.
Universities are exclusive, but they lose quality by being so. They also lose the title of "the place to be" for learning. They're now in third place behind meetups and topic specific internet communities.
