Eals: the building at 11th Floor 30 Crown Place is a construction site
Eals publishes 11th Floor 30 Crown Place. The building is being redeveloped, so nobody is working there.
What the team found
Eals publishes 11th Floor 30 Crown Place London EC2A 4EB as its office. The building is behind hoardings and being redeveloped, so there was no lobby, reception or directory to check, and no signage for the company on or around the site.
The visit is recorded as closed rather than as a definitive absence, but the address Eals publishes is not somewhere a company can be operating from at the moment.
The checks
The checks that decided this outcome, from the visit checklist.

| Reception check | Reception unavailable |
| Floor or suite | Restricted |
Who else uses this address
6 other brokers in this set publish an address on Crown Place. 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 6 other visits to that address, the team found nothing 3 times and could not get access 3 times. Among them are FINSA Europe, HIBISCUS and QhonFX.
This visit ended differently from most of the others, which is worth weighing against the pattern at the address.
What the published address commits to
Eals 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 EC2A
38 of the addresses the team has visited sit in the EC2A postcode district. Across the 37 other visits to EC2A, the team confirmed an office 3 times, found nothing 12 times and could not get access 22 times.
Others in the same district include Equiti Capital, ETX and EXPRESS TRADE.
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
Temporarily closed. The location was closed during the visit and the reason or duration could not be fully established.
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.
