London's startup scene has its roots in the early 2000s, with the emergence of the "Silicon Roundabout" in East London. This area, centered around Old Street, became a hotbed for early-stage tech companies and attracted significant investment from both local and international investors. Over time, the ecosystem expanded beyond the Silicon Roundabout, with new clusters of startups and innovation centers forming across the city.
