Five Starter Problems: Solving QUBOs on Quantum Computers.
It might remind you of Five Starter Pieces: QIS via SDP. (See Śrīdhara Brāhmaṇa: QSD via SDP. ) You may also enjoy Minimizing Polynomial Functions on Quantum Computers.
Also, it has been four years since I last spent time in London (see Lean Monarchy), but the timing of this visit was motivated not by Academic Invitations, but by

What is the name of restaurant and where is its location? Where did you stay?
