# Visit @ Mongo HQ in London

Source: https://tpiros.dev/blog/visit-mongo-hq-in-london

I dropped by MongoDB's London Headquarters today for their "[London Office Hours](http://www.meetup.com/London-MongoDB-User-Group/)" event. The format is open: you grab a MongoDB Master and ask whatever's on your mind. Architecture, indexing, geospatial data, or even basic query questions. The office has a great vibe, and yes, you walk out with free stickers, t-shirts, and assorted goodies.

I got to chat with [Derick](http://derickrethans.nl/who.html), Mongo's resident Geo and PHP expert. He's presenting on MongoDB's Geospatial features next week (11th September 2013 at the [London MUG](http://www.meetup.com/London-MongoDB-User-Group/)), and I'll be there. I'm hoping to pick up a few things I can fold into our project, and I'm itching to write up a proper post on the topic. I already know some of the Geo features, but I'm expecting to learn a lot more next week. Until then, keep rocking.
