Fake LMAX: no way in at Kemp House 152-160 City Road
Fake LMAX publishes Kemp House 152-160 City Road in London. The team could not get past the door, and nothing outside carried the company's name.
What the team found
Fake LMAX publishes Kemp House 152-160 City Road London EC1V 2NX as its office. 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 Fake LMAX to the address.

Who else uses this address
4 other brokers in this set publish an address on Kemp House. In a large commercial building that is unremarkable, though it is worth knowing when you are comparing firms that look unconnected.
Across the 4 other visits to that address, the team found nothing 3 times and could not get access once. Among them are MEASURE-FUNDS, PWC and RBTFX.
This visit ended differently from most of the others, which is worth weighing against the pattern at the address.
The picture in EC1V
17 of the addresses the team has visited sit in the EC1V postcode district. Across the 16 other visits to EC1V, the team found nothing 11 times and could not get access 5 times.
Others in the same district include FB Broker, FORTIS MARKET and FXCH.
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.
