Trade Interceptor: no way in at 30 City Road 4th Floor London EC1Y 2AY
Trade Interceptor publishes 30 City Road 4th Floor London EC1Y 2AY in London. The team could not get past the door, and nothing outside carried the company's name.
What the team found
Trade Interceptor publishes 30 City Road 4th Floor London EC1Y 2AY 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 Trade Interceptor to the address.

Who else uses this address
9 other brokers in this set publish an address on City Road. 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 9 other visits to that address, the team found nothing 5 times and could not get access 4 times. Among them are Vortex FX, Wanjinhuiheyue and Banner Inveeh.
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
Trade Interceptor 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 EC1Y
9 of the addresses the team has visited sit in the EC1Y postcode district. Across the 8 other visits to EC1Y, the team confirmed an office once and could not get access 7 times.
Others in the same district include Wanjinhuiheyue, ADG and AXIS BANK.
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.
