LCM: no way in at 4th Floor 130 Wood Street
LCM publishes 4th Floor 130 Wood 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
LCM publishes 4th Floor 130 Wood Street London EC2V 6DL 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 LCM to the address.
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
8 other brokers in this set publish an address on Wood 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 twice and could not get access 6 times. Among them are Millennium, Premium Yields and Richtmfx.
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.
What the published address commits to
LCM 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 EC2V
31 of the addresses the team has visited sit in the EC2V postcode district. Across the 30 other visits to EC2V, the team confirmed an office once, found nothing 11 times and could not get access 18 times.
Others in the same district include Link Asset Services, Millennium and PhillipCapital UK.
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.
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.
