FCA to move out of Canary Wharf
The Financial Conduct Authority is relocating to new 43,000 sq ft premises in East London, it has been reported by the Financial Times.
The new headquarters are in the £2bn Stratford International Quarter in Olympic Village.
Lesley Titcomb, the FCA’s chief operating officer, said the move represented “good value for money for our fee-payers”.
The FCA’s lease expires in 2018. It has been based in the City since it took over from the Financial Services Authority in 2013. The FSA had been based in Canary Wharf since it began in 2011.
