Liquidity Group is excited to announce the relocation of its London office to a new, larger space, marking another milestone in its rapid growth and dedication to the European market. This move is designed to enhance collaboration among the expanding team, clients, and partners across the region.
Liquidity Group’s new office at 127 Charing Cross Road, designed by Barr Gazetas, integrates seamlessly with London’s cultural revival, preserving a wall of signatures from the legendary ‘Borderline’ club, featuring icons like David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, REM, and Oasis. Located near Tottenham Court Road station and the Elizabeth Line, the light-filled space prioritizes well-being, productivity, and sustainability, with features like bird boxes, ornamental planting, and micro-habitats to enhance urban biodiversity.
Ron Daniel, Co-Founder and CEO of Liquidity Group shared his perspective: “Relocating our London office is a significant step in supporting our expanding European operations.
