Business in City of London
The Square Mile is a single industry with a single set of obligations attached to it. Financial services, insurance at Lloyd’s, law and the professional firms that serve both — and in most of them a recorded call is a regulatory artefact rather than a convenience, with a retention period, an access log and someone who will eventually ask to see it. The other constraint is the buildings: a great many are listed or sit in a conservation area, which decides what can be cabled where long before anybody chooses a phone system. We work here from Windsor, half an hour out on the Great Western line, and we would rather say that than pretend to a City address.

City of London — common questions
We are an FCA-regulated firm in the City. Does your call recording meet the retention rules?
Yes, and the parts that matter are the ones nobody demonstrates in a sales meeting: a retention period set to your policy rather than a default, an access log showing who listened to what, storage in a named UK region, and an export you can hand to a compliance officer. We would rather walk through your actual obligation than assume the standard package fits it.
Our City office is a listed building. Does that limit what you can install?
It limits cabling, not the phone system. Cloud telephony needs a working internet connection and power at the desk, so a listed or conservation-area building usually rules out new containment and trunking rather than the platform itself. Where fresh cabling genuinely is needed, that becomes a conversation with the landlord and the local authority, and it is worth starting early.
