Our London office has over 230 people working collaboratively and creating a dynamic, positive environment. The office itself is based in the heart of the City, within a short walk of key landmarks and well served by tube and train stations.

As the UK moves out of lockdown and Fragomen moves out of a fully working from home model, a willingness to attend the office will be required.
