Corporate fraud in the City
A financial services firm suspected an employee of diverting client funds. Our City-based team gathered digital and physical evidence over three weeks, leading to a successful prosecution and full recovery of assets.
London Office
The Capital's Trusted Investigators
In a city of 9 million stories, truth matters. We have been uncovering it for London's residents and businesses for over 29 years.
Our London office has been running investigations across the capital for over 29 years. That experience shapes every case we take on.
Our office at 124 City Road is available for meetings by appointment. The private investigation agency can also discuss the case by telephone when an office visit is unnecessary.
The private investigator assigned to your enquiry will be chosen for the work required. Our professional investigators cover personal, legal and corporate matters.
A private investigator will explain what work is proposed, what information may be available and what could change the timescale or price before an instruction begins.
Your private investigator will keep a clear record of observations and findings. Reports distinguish evidence from assumptions and can be prepared for you or your legal adviser.
When investigation services such as surveillance are appropriate, the private investigator plans the work around the facts of the case. Our local detectives carry out field enquiries discreetly.
Case information is limited to the people handling the agreed work. Updates and reports are supplied through the contact method agreed with you.
From our London office we cover the whole of Greater London and the surrounding areas.

Recent data highlighting why local investigation services matter
Every case is different, but these examples illustrate our work across Greater London. All details are anonymised.
A financial services firm suspected an employee of diverting client funds. Our City-based team gathered digital and physical evidence over three weeks, leading to a successful prosecution and full recovery of assets.
A client in Croydon needed clarity about a partner who was regularly unaccounted for. Discreet mobile surveillance over two weekends provided the answers they needed to make an informed decision.
A family in Islington lost contact with a vulnerable relative. Using open-source intelligence and local contacts, we located them within 48 hours and helped arrange a safe reunion.
Yes. Our office is at 124 City Road and meetings are available by appointment. A private investigator can usually discuss the enquiry by telephone first, which allows us to establish what work may be suitable before arranging a meeting or field work.
The starting time depends on the service and the information available. Tracing and background checks can often begin after the scope has been agreed. Surveillance needs planning, so a private investigator will confirm the proposed dates and resources before work starts.
Our local detectives cover all Greater London boroughs and surrounding counties. The investigator considers the location, travel pattern and likely timings when field work is planned. Many private investigator services, including research and tracing, can be handled without the client visiting the office.
Yes. Information is limited to the people who need it for the agreed work. Your private investigator will explain how reports and evidence are supplied. We will not contact the subject of an enquiry unless that forms part of an agreed and lawful instruction.
Costs depend on the service, the time required and the number of investigators involved. A tracing enquiry is priced differently from mobile surveillance. The private investigator will set out the proposed work and price before you decide whether to proceed, with fixed fees used where the scope allows.
Discretion is part of the planning for every case. Surveillance is intended to record relevant activity without drawing attention to the investigator. No private detective can promise that a subject will never notice anything, but the risks and practical limits are considered before the work begins.
A private investigator can prepare dated observations, supporting material and a written report for your solicitor. Evidence must be gathered lawfully, but its admissibility is decided by the court and the legal advisers involved. We do not describe evidence as guaranteed to be accepted.
Investigation services include relationship investigations, discreet investigations, people tracing, background enquiries, business enquiries, asset tracing, fraud enquiries and surveillance. Private detective services can be combined when a case requires more than one line of enquiry, but each part of the work is agreed before it starts.
No. It is lawful to hire a private investigator for a legitimate purpose. The methods used must also be lawful. We will not offer access to private bank records, unlawful tracking or information obtained by deception, and we will explain when a requested check cannot be carried out.
That depends on the question you need answered and how you intend to use the findings. A private investigator can explain whether surveillance is likely to provide relevant evidence. A private detective should also tell you when the proposed work is unlikely to justify the cost.
Every conversation is completely confidential. Tell us what you are dealing with and one of our investigators will call you back, usually within two hours.
Visits by appointment only. Please call ahead to arrange a meeting.
