Why London
Why London is the right city for most European forex accounts
More retail brokers publish a London server location than any other city. If yours is one of them, a server in London turns the trip from your EA to the trade server into a metro hop.
Where the brokers are
FxPro, Admirals, Darwinex, BlackBull, ThinkMarkets, FP Markets, Vantage, Octa, JustMarkets and IC Markets' cTrader servers all name Equinix London, LD4 or LD5. The table below lists each one with its platforms.
Under 10 ms to the trade server
From a MassiveGRID London server, brokers with infrastructure in London are under 10 ms away. From a home connection in Manchester or Madrid the same order takes several times longer and varies with every hop.
Built for the London session
The London open is where EUR, GBP and gold see their deepest liquidity and their sharpest moves. An EA that trades the 08:00 London open from a server in the same city gets its fills before the spread widens.
Comfortable RDP from the UK and Europe
Your own location only matters for the Remote Desktop session. From anywhere in Britain, Ireland or western Europe the London server feels like a local machine when you log in to adjust charts.
HA failover and 3x replicated storage
Every London Forex VPS runs on a Proxmox HA cluster. If a node fails, the VM restarts on a healthy one within seconds from NVMe storage replicated three times. No single point of failure.
Full Windows, any platform
Administrator access over RDP. Install the exact MT4, MT5 or cTrader build your broker distributes, your indicators, copiers and VPN client. Nothing is locked down.
Brokers with servers in London
These brokers state on their own websites or help centres that their trading infrastructure is in London, almost always in the Equinix LD4 or LD5 buildings in Slough, where the major liquidity providers also sit. A London VPS is the natural choice for an account with any of them.
| Broker | Platforms | Published server location |
|---|---|---|
| FxPro | MT4, MT5, cTrader | Equinix LD4, London; a dedicated MT5 cross-connect announced in January 2026 |
| Admirals | MT4, MT5 | Equinix LD4, Slough |
| Darwinex | MT4, MT5 | Equinix LD4, cross-connected to its liquidity providers |
| BlackBull Markets | MT4, MT5, cTrader | Equinix LD5, London |
| ThinkMarkets | MT4, MT5, ThinkTrader | Equinix LD4 and LD5 |
| FP Markets | MT4 | Equinix NY4/LD4 server cluster |
| Vantage | MT4, MT5 | London and New York primary hubs |
| IC Markets | cTrader | Equinix LD5 (its MT4 and MT5 servers are in New York) |
| Octa | MT4, MT5, cTrader | Trading servers in London |
| JustMarkets | MT4, MT5 | Equinix London (also Brazil, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, UAE) |
Two London-specific notes. IC Markets splits its platforms: cTrader is in London, MetaTrader is in New York, so an IC Markets MT4 account belongs on the New York server. And FP Markets names one cluster spanning NY4 and LD4, so check the ping to both from your terminal and pick the lower.
Locations are taken from each broker's own website, help centre or press releases, checked in October 2026 and listed with their sources in our broker reference. Brokers move servers and some host different platforms or entities in different cities, so confirm the server name and ping in your platform's login dialog before you order. If your broker is not here, ask our support team in chat.
Who should pick London
Traders with a broker on the list above. The server's job is to sit next to the trade server, and that is the whole decision. A UK trader with an Axi account, whose servers are in New York, is better served by the New York VPS even though London is nearer home.
UK and Irish traders whose broker is not listed. If your broker publishes no location, measure it. The MetaTrader login dialog shows the ping to every server your broker offers; the cTrader status bar shows the same. A reading under 10 ms from your current machine in Britain usually means London, under 5 ms from a US connection usually means New York. The London VPS guide walks through the check.
Traders in Europe, Africa and the Middle East who value a short RDP hop. Where the broker is in neither London nor Frankfurt, London is the city with the most direct routes to the rest of Europe, South Africa and the Gulf, which keeps the Remote Desktop session responsive when you log in to manage positions. Trade execution still depends only on where the broker is.
What a London Forex VPS includes
- Windows Server with full administrator access over Remote Desktop, from any PC, Mac, tablet or phone
- NVMe storage replicated three times, 10 Gbps connectivity and 12 Tbps DDoS protection
- A 100% uptime SLA backed by Proxmox HA failover, not a 99.9% best effort
- CPU, RAM and storage sliders you can move up at any time without reinstalling
- Free MT4 and MT5 setup help from a 24/7 team rated 9.5/10 by customers
- A 15-day money-back guarantee on every plan
Need dedicated cores for a scalping EA? Switch the configurator below to Forex VPS Pro, which adds dedicated CPU, a 10 Gbps port and a Windows Server licence; the dedicated versus shared guide explains when it is worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions
London Forex VPS questions
No. MassiveGRID's London servers are in London but not inside the Equinix buildings in Slough, and brokers with infrastructure in London are under 10 ms away from them. That is the figure to plan around; it is far below what a home or office connection in the UK achieves, and the money-back guarantee lets you measure it yourself from inside your terminal within the first 15 days.
Brokers that publish a London location include FxPro, Admirals, Darwinex and ThinkMarkets (Equinix LD4), BlackBull Markets and IC Markets' cTrader servers (Equinix LD5), FP Markets (an NY4/LD4 cluster), Vantage (London and New York hubs), Octa and JustMarkets. The table on this page lists each with its platforms, and the broker matcher sets the city on every plan with one click.
New York. Your own location only affects the Remote Desktop session you use to manage the server; order execution depends on the distance between the server and the broker. A UK trader with an Axi, IC Markets MetaTrader or OANDA account should order the New York Forex VPS and will still find RDP from Britain perfectly usable.
A trading VPS holds your platform, your EAs and your logs, and all of that stays on a server in London. If keeping that data in the UK matters to you or your fund's compliance policy, London is the right choice; if your broker is elsewhere, execution speed usually matters more and the New York or Frankfurt server is the better pick.
Forex VPS 1 in London starts at $2.87 per month with 1 vCPU, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of NVMe storage, enough for one or two MT4 or MT5 terminals. The configurator on this page shows the price for any CPU, RAM, storage and billing term before you order. Forex VPS Pro in London, with dedicated CPU cores and a Windows Server licence included, starts at $9.73 per month. Every plan carries a 100% uptime SLA, DDoS protection and a 15-day money-back guarantee; the plan range for all four cities is on the Forex VPS page.
Brokers with infrastructure in London are under 10 ms from the MassiveGRID London server. Brokers hosted elsewhere depend on where their servers are: New York is roughly an Atlantic crossing away, so for a New York broker the New York server is the right order. Measure the ping to your broker in the MetaTrader login dialog or the cTrader status bar once the server is up; the 15-day guarantee covers you if the number is not what you need.
Yes. If your broker moves, or you open an account with a broker hosted elsewhere, order a server in the new city and copy your terminal folders across; our support team helps with the move. Each city is a separate product in the client portal, so the new server runs alongside the old one until you are ready to cancel it.
Yes, as long as you disconnect rather than sign out. Closing the Remote Desktop window leaves your Windows session, the terminal and every EA running on the server. Choosing Sign out from the Start menu ends the session and closes the terminal, so avoid it. The HA cluster restarts the server on another node if hardware fails; add the terminal to Windows startup so it returns automatically after any reboot.
