leasing/managed offices in London, UK with 10gbe carriers POPs?
Hi, I was going through this database[1] looking for office facilities/buildings with 10gbe carriers POPs already present, but only datacentres are listed. My requirement is low cost 10gbe connectivity to any London datacentre where I could either get either low-cost few racks hosting+partial transit.. Well multiple 1gig links might be ok too. I am sure there are already large office blocks with multiple 10gbe carrier POPs or am I? Maybe it is possible to save costs and time by choosing office with built-in good connectivity rather than wait months and multiple permits to dig the road etc..?

Unlikely to find managed offices with multiple 10GE connections. In my experience, if they have 1GE shared between all tenants, then you're doing well :) That said, if you talk to the people with lots of fibre around London (Geo, Zayo/Abovenet, Level3, etc), then you will probably find that you can pick up a metro dark fibre hop back to one of the major datacentres for not too much money. If you shop around carefully, you may find that they have buildings that they're either in, or immediately outside of, and digs won't be a major issue.
