Destek Markets: no way in at Level 29 The Scalpel 52 Lime Street
Destek Markets publishes Level 29 The Scalpel 52 Lime Street in the City of London. The team could not get past the door, and nothing outside carried the company's name.
What the team found
Destek Markets publishes Level 29 The Scalpel 52 Lime Street London EC3M 7AF as its office. The address is in the City of 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 Destek Markets to the address.

Who else uses this address
One other broker in this set publishes an address on The Scalpel Lime Street, which is BRITANNIA. Two firms in one building is ordinary and says nothing on its own.
What the published address commits to
Destek Markets 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 5 times and could not get access 5 times.
Others in the same district include InteractiveBrokers, Shard Capital and TempleFX.
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.
