AOFX: a serviced address at 31-32 Eastcastle Street London W1W 8DN
AOFX publishes 31-32 Eastcastle Street London W1W 8DN in London, which is a serviced office address rather than a floor of its own.
What the team found
AOFX publishes 31-32 Eastcastle Street London W1W 8DN as its office. Nothing outside carried the company's name, and the floor the address points to is a shared or serviced office suite rather than a floor the company occupies itself.
A serviced address is not evidence of anything dishonest, and it is not evidence of an office either. It is a registered address and a desk that any number of companies can hold at once, so it tells a client nothing about whether AOFX has staff there.

The picture in W1W
17 of the addresses the team has visited sit in the W1W postcode district. Across the 16 other visits to W1W, the team found nothing twice and could not get access 14 times.
Others in the same district include BillionStone, BULLFOREX and BULLISH TREND.
Reading the checks together
In short, the building was the one the address names, there was no sign for the company outside and reception could not say either way. No single check settles an outcome on its own, which is why each one is listed above rather than folded into a verdict.
What this outcome means
Access restricted. Building or security restrictions prevented the researcher from completing the planned checks.
A field survey confirms only what was observed at the stated address and time. It does not verify regulatory status, client-money handling, trading conditions or financial strength. The photographs are the team's own, taken at the location on the day, and may be cropped for privacy. Read how surveys are conducted.
