For financial stuff, proximity matters and London is one of the largest financial centers
- carnitine 4y agoFor ‘financial stuff’ where proximity matters (which is a small fraction of it) you would be colocated with the exchange, and there’s no need for that data centre to be in London.
- yobbo 4y agoThat doesn't answer the question. Why not move all of it out?
- jleahy 4y agoThey’re in Slough, it is 50km out. These areas are all close to Slough.
