Working in EC3
The insurance district, a Victorian market and the edge of the East End
EC3 is the City’s insurance quarter. Lloyd’s sits on Lime Street, and the streets around it, from Leadenhall Street to Gracechurch Street and Fenchurch Street, are packed with insurers, brokers and the firms that serve them. 30 St Mary Axe, one of our clients, stands in the middle of it.
A few steps away, Leadenhall Market is a different kind of customer: restaurants, bars and shops under a covered Victorian roof, with narrow lanes that fill with tables and drinkers. To the east, Aldgate and Tower Hill mix newer office blocks with hotels, visitor businesses and the Middlesex Street Estate, where City residents live above the shops.
That variety is why EC3 rounds need planning. A broker’s office wants a quiet early collection. A restaurant needs food waste and glass taken after service. A resident needs a sofa carried down from a flat.

Getting around EC3
Narrow lanes, a covered market and busy evenings
The lanes around Lime Street and St Mary Axe are tight, and parts of the area are pedestrian-only. Leadenhall Market’s lanes are busy at lunchtime and in the evening when the bars spill out. We agree where the vehicle stops and when, so bins move straight from your store to the truck.
Around Aldgate and Tower Hill the issue is traffic rather than space. Collections are timed to avoid the worst of it, and we tell you if your preferred time won’t work.
