The government's idea of Tech City is about money, not making. Both are important. Makers need money to bring their ideas to life, and entrepreneurs and investors need makers for the same reason. Without ways to attract talent, a culture that makes the talent want to stick around, and affordable spaces to work in, Tech City is just the City.

So where has the scene moved? Is there a hub where the tech scene can thrive within London's broader creative energy? I don't know. People are scattering further east, north, south. I hope some weird and wonderful music/tech/art starts gushing out of a corner of London again soon, but if people can't get in – whether because of visas or rent – then maybe, as Caitlin Moran suggests, the next passionate tech scene won't be in London at all, but another UK city entirely.
