London datacenter proxies: dedicated IPv4 addresses

Why do networks host IPs in London?

London has two clusters: the Docklands in the east, home of the first carrier-neutral buildings in the city, and Slough to the west. LINX, the London Internet Exchange, was founded in 1994 and is a member-owned exchange.

On 19 October 2026, PeeringDB listed 82 colocation facilities within 40 km of central London, run by 46 different operators. The operators with the most buildings in that radius are Digital Realty (10), Equinix (8), NTT DATA (6) and CyrusOne (5). The buildings where the most networks are present are Equinix LD8 - London, Docklands (313 networks), Equinix LD5 - London, Slough (165 networks) and Digital Realty London LON1-3 (116 networks). That ranks London 2nd by facility count among the 34 datacenter cities on this site, behind New York (82) and ahead of Paris (76).

Which internet exchanges are in London?

PeeringDB lists 14 internet exchange points in the London area. The largest by connected networks:

• LINX LON1: 834 networks, present in 18 facilities
• LINX LON2: 317 networks, present in 18 facilities
• LONAP: 311 networks, present in 14 facilities

Peering at LINX LON1 lets two London networks exchange traffic without a transit carrier in between, which keeps local paths short. The route itself depends on the upstream network that holds the IP; RackProxies does not promise one.

Where will a London datacenter IP geolocate?

In the RIPE NCC records, a London datacenter IP belongs to a hosting or transit network rather than to a consumer ISP. Lookup services usually show London or the London and Slough area, but a database can also list the network's head office or another UK city. Many label such addresses "hosting", which is the truth for a datacenter proxy.

Run the datacenter IP check on a London IP before a long job, with the database your target uses. If London shows as the wrong place for your use, support can replace the IP within the United Kingdom, subject to stock.

What is a London datacenter proxy good for?

A London IP is the default UK exit: prices, search results and content of UK sites, and many pan-European services hosted in London. For allowlisted APIs or your own monitoring, a London IP gives you an address that does not change for 30 days. Do not expect a London datacenter IP to look like a home user: it is honestly labelled as hosting.

How much do London datacenter proxies cost?

RackProxies uses one price list for every city, as of October 2026: $1.29 for one London IP for 30 days, $12.69 for 10 IPs and $59.25 for 100 IPs ($0.59/IP). There is no city surcharge and no per-GB billing; fair use applies. Choose United Kingdom at checkout and ask for London.
