Six Degrees Group: London Data Centre (Greenwich / London Site)

Current Six Degrees public data centre materials identify the company’s active London colocation site as London (Interxion LON3) rather than a separately profiled Greenwich facility. Older Six Degrees case-study material does reference a “converged datacentre in Greenwich,” but the current public comparison page lists the London site as Interxion LON3. To avoid mixing historical and current facilities, the profile below is based on the current London site publicly listed by Six Degrees.

The London site is operated by Six Degrees (6DG) and located in London, England, United Kingdom, within the capital’s primary financial and digital connectivity market. Six Degrees’ public materials identify it as a multi-storey London facility with substantial technical space and strong interconnection density, making it relevant for enterprises, financial services firms, digital platforms, and service providers that need access to one of Europe’s main network and business hubs. The London location also supports regional and international connectivity advantages through direct access to dense carrier and peering ecosystems.
