The London Tech Ecosystem

London's reputation as a tech capital rests on a few deep sector strengths. Fintech grew out of the City's banking and insurance base. AI research took off after DeepMind was founded here and later acquired by Google. Legal tech is pulled along by the world-class law firms clustered around Holborn and the City. Around all of them sits a support layer of accelerators, government programmes, universities and investors.

This section explains how those pieces fit together. You will find sector deep dives, lists of the programmes founders actually use, and profiles of London startups that are building something worth following.
