No need to apologize. There's a need for informal meetings as much (or
even more) as there is for courses and conferences.

There are several informal meetings on Haskell happening throughout
the world. I'm personally not living in the London area, but I
regularly attend the Munich Haskell meeting
(http://www.haskell-munich.de/). Regarding London, I know there's the
Haskell Hoodlums meetup (http://www.meetup.com/hoodlums/), and I think
there is or was a Haskell User Group as well, but it's currently
listed as "not active" on
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/User_groups. Perhaps there's a
chance to bring it back to life?

Cheers,
  Andres
