My beautiful wife and I were walking past Regents Park (in central London) just before Christmas last year, admiring the houses and wondering aloud what an obscene amount of money it would cost to live or base your office out of any of them. Wonga had two.
It was the first we'd heard of them (having been in London only a month or so), but they got a lot of publicity on the Tube in the lead up to New Year's Eve (where they sponsored free public transport for the evening). But even discussions of that promotion were all tinged with 'how could Transport for London / the Mayor's office associate themselves with a company like this?'.
"Is there any positivity in that brand?"
None that I've seen. And when they're charging interest rates like they do to afford offices like they do, I doubt any will be forthcoming in the near future.
