What technical conferences or get togethers take place in London during the summer?

My answer to What technical conferences or get togethers take place in London during the summer? on Quora

July and August are the quiet season for conferences (since many people are on holiday during those months—the larger events tend to stick to March to June or September to November).

That said, London is a big city and there’s always something going on.

We have a pretty comprehensive list of techie (and not-so-techie) events on Lanyrd—just scroll through our London page and see if anything looks interesting: http://lanyrd.com/places/london/

Two that spring out at me:

There’s the TechHub Summer Party on July 7th, if you want to meet some of London’s entrepreneur scene: http://techhubbirthdayparty.even...

UXCampLondon is a very popular event on July 9th: http://lanyrd.com/2011/uxcamplon...

There’s also a very strong collection of meetup communities in London—take a look through http://london.meetup.com/
