Zeyi,

From my perspective, the best person to visit would be Andrew Gray at the British Library. He's the official Wikipedian in Residence there and is, frankly, excellent. He might have time for coffee and a chat - likewise, your engineer friend could visit the UK Chapter office in central London, next to Old Street station, and have a chat with the staff.

Hi Zeyi,
if she or he lands at Heathrow then go to the museum at the National Archives which is very close. They were the first to use QRpedia in London I think and they have worked with WMUK releasing images as well as hosting hack days..... and they have a self appointed wiki in residense (Jo Pugh). They have also talked about releasing other works to wikisource.

I'd be pleased to help if needed and we have other examples outside London.
