Who else uses this address
One other broker in this set publishes an address on The Scalpel Lime Street, which is Destek Markets. Two firms in one building is ordinary and says nothing on its own.
What the published address commits to
BRITANNIA publishes a floor and a room rather than only a building, which is the more checkable kind of address: it can be walked to and either holds the company or does not.
The picture in EC3M
12 of the addresses the team has visited sit in the EC3M postcode district. Across the 11 other visits to EC3M, the team confirmed an office once, found nothing 4 times and could not get access 6 times.
Others in the same district include CLFX, CustodianX and Destek Markets.
Reading the checks together
In short, the building was the one the address names, there was no sign for the company outside, it was not in the building directory and reception had nothing for it. No single check settles an outcome on its own, which is why each one is listed above rather than folded into a verdict.
