We were always wondering why there aren't more hackerspaces in London; it took years after the LHS started to see some other initiatives. Here's a list of some of the ones I've seen, feel free to expand/amend. Some are old, most are new. Some are meet-ups, some are attempts at creating a physical hackerspace. I don't know most of these organisations personally; in some cases I had brief conversations with founders or early members.
