I think London has a lot of potential that I sometimes worry is going untapped because I’m not a great organiser. But our assets include:
Meetups that currently draw 15+ people more often than not
A group house that sometimes hosts those meetups (and has also hosted two secular solstices)
An EA community that seems to be fairly vibrant
In terms of serious organisations, I’m not sure if Deep Mind counts but it feels at least adjacent? And for people who want to do politics-related things, it surely doesn’t hurt that we’re the seat of the UK government.

I feel the same about Sydney. I have been meaning to strategise for more attendance and a bigger meetup.
