<p>On the last leg of my trip to Europe to check out Web 2.0 companies, BoomTown spent the day at the <a href="http://www.royalsoc.ac.uk/">Royal Society</a> in the tony environs of St. James&#8217;s Park and Pall Mall, for some more lively discussions with more students, academics and entrepreneurs in England.</p>
<p>The Royal Society, by the way, is an &#8220;independent scientific academy of the UK and the Commonwealth dedicated to promoting excellence in science.&#8221;</p>
<p>In other words: Geek Central of London for more centuries of nerdiness than you can shake a powdered wig at (and, let me just say, there were a lot of powdered wig-wearing techies back when).</p>
<p>As I have written, it&#8217;s been a really interesting visit here overall, first at Cambridge University and now here, where a group of entrepreneurs, academics, execs and venture capitalists from Silicon Valley have been mingling with British students, academics and tech entrepreneurs.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s all been organized by Ellen Levy of <a href="http://www.siliconvalleyconnect.com/events.php">Silicon Valley Connect</a> and U.K.-based tech entrepreneur Sherry Coutu, in partnership with the <a href="http://www.nesta.org.uk/">National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts</a>.</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s my final video of the events, including interviews with European VC Saul Klein of Index Ventures, as well as Silicon Valley visitors Hans Peter Brondmo of the start-up <a href="http://www.plum.com/">Plum</a> and Emily Melton, a VC with <a href="http://www.dfj.com/">Draper Fisher Jurvetson</a>.</p>
<p>The conclusion: It&#8217;s a small world, after all, as you will see. Also a message from the Queen:</p>
