About London (Prestons Rd) Data Center

London (Prestons Rd) Data Center

41 Preston’s Road, London, UK (coordinates: longitude –0.00719, latitude 51.50468)

Overview

Located in the heart of central London, this compact carrier-neutral data center situated on Preston’s Road benefits from ultra-low-latency access to financial, media, cloud, and peering networks across the capital—a hallmark of central London colocation hubs

Facility Size & Power Capacity (Estimated)

  • Data‑hall footprint: Likely under 10,000 m² (~100,000 ft²), consistent with dense urban colocation nodes
  • Power capacity: Estimated between 5–15 MW of total IT load, in line with typical central London facilities built for edge compute and carrier hotel usage 

Services & Colocation Offerings

  • Colocation configurations: flexible options including quarter‑, half‑, and full rack space, private suites, and multi‑rack deployments. Remote‑hands and installation support are commonly offered 
  • Carrier-neutral connectivity: multiple diverse fibre entries, on‑site meet‑me rooms, access to major Internet Exchanges such as LINX and LONAP, and connectivity to key cloud service providers
  • Support services: 24/7 on-site operations or network operations center (NOC), remote‑hands technician support, and cross-connect provisioning

Infrastructure & Resilience

  • Design standard: aligned with Tier III principles—dual A/B power feeds, N+1 redundancy across UPS, generators, and cooling, and concurrent maintainability 
  • Cooling: ASHRAE-compliant air-cooling systems, potentially with high-density cooling options (e.g. rear-door or cold-aisle containment) for specialized workloads 

Security & Compliance

  • Physical security: multi-factor or biometric access controls, 24/7 staffed security, CCTV surveillance, fire detection and suppression systems.
  • Certifications: operators in central London typically maintain ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and ISO 22301/14001 certifications for enterprise and regulated clients 

Sustainability Features

  • Operators in London often source renewable energy (e.g. green tariffs or REGO-backed), optimize PUE through efficient cooling, and may support heat recovery schemes or other environmental initiatives

Why This Location Is Strategic

  • Positioned within London’s core digital and financial district, offering ultra-low latency fiber paths to exchange points, cloud hubs, and enterprise offices.
  • Ideal for use cases requiring high availability, such as edge compute, content delivery networks (CDNs), hybrid cloud gateways, and peering or interconnection functions.
