There are many Linux Cafes (or similar) in many places. I don't know about London specifically, but I would be very surprised if there isn't. You could try checking https://endof10.org.
EDIT: I am very surprised, it doesn't look like there is. You could always start one? We started off as me saying " You know what we should do? ..." to some friends at a social over drinks. It really is that simple.
