Ask HN: London Based Y Combinator?
Is there an equivalent Y Combinator incubator in London?

There are some schemes, nothing quite as advanced as Y combinator.
- Seedcamp http://seedcamp.com/
- Launch48 Launchpad http://www.launch48.com/launchpad/
But there are lots of places one could hang out and work on an idea: - Accelerator London: http://www.accelerator-london.com/ - London Hackspace: http://london.hackspace.org.uk
Shameless self-promotion, have a look around here about London based startup resources / opportunities (look at the schmoozing list!) - http://londonstartups.co.uk/

Another place to "hang out and work on an idea" is http://techhub.com @TechHub, a little like a KickLabs but without a fund. But Y-Com 'equivalents' would be Seedcamp (takes 8-10% of a startup) or The Difference Engine programme which is moving to Cambridge (just outside London)
I like techhub, but I am talking about a investment/office space for n number of weeks
I don't know of a YC-clone in London. There's Seedcamp and http://thedifferenceengine.eu up north.
an opening in the market perhaps
