Crypto Expert: no way in at 85 Great Portland Street
Crypto Expert publishes 85 Great Portland Street in central London. The team could not get past the door, and nothing outside carried the company's name.
What the team found
Crypto Expert publishes 85 Great Portland Street, Marylebone, London, United Kingdom, W1W 7LT as its office. The address is in central London. There was no signage for the company on the building, and the team could not get past the entrance to check a directory or speak to reception.
Because the team could not get inside, the visit is recorded as restricted rather than as proof that the company is absent. Nothing visible from the street connects Crypto Expert to the address.

Who else uses this address
8 other brokers in this set publish an address on Great Portland Street. When that many financial firms name one building, it is usually a registered-office or mail-forwarding service, and an address of that kind tells you where the post arrives rather than where anyone works.
Across the 8 other visits to that address, the team found nothing 4 times and could not get access 4 times. Among them are FX CAPITAL, Gain X and LAMPEFX.
This visit ended the same way as most of the others, which is what makes the address worth noting rather than this broker in particular.
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 FHCH, Finotrade and FxShengDe.
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.
