Hi
As Simon said on NANOG, in the UK it is rare that a normal office
building would have that sort of connectivity available to tenants.
Typically, if a landlord / managing agents want to offer Internet
connection to their clients, they will do something like get 100M from a
provider and split it up themselves (usually not doing a great job of
it). You're unlikely to be able to say "can I have a clear
VLAN/wavelength back to Telehouse" or wherever!
However, there is a lot of fibre in the ground in London and finding a
building that is either on-net or very close to someone's fibre (so
minimal cost to install) shouldn't be too hard. I don't know of any
lists of well connected buildings though.

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..?
