Redcentric’s London data centre is in Shoreditch, in the heart of London’s Tech City area. The data centre is within an easy walking distance of six railway stations, easily accessible by road, has service parking on site, and fast connections to all of the London airports.
London is the largest city in Europe. This facility is as close to the central City of London as it is possible to be, whilst being 100 metres outside the London Exclusion Zone. In a London emergency, the site is not locked down and can be accessed without restriction. At 21 metres above river level, it is safe from flooding. Both of the London termini of the Docklands Light Railway are nearby, offering quick travel to the alternative data centres of London Docklands. The data centre sits on “fibre alley”, from where the major carriers run fibre to all the London data centres, giving an exceptional range of carriers and very low latencies to other London locations.
