The first of many business centres planned in the world's major financial hubs, DIFC Global London offers one of the city's finest serviced corporate environments in the heart of its business district.

His Excellency Dr. Omar Bin Sulaiman, Governor of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), said:
"DIFC Global's offerings are designed to support companies in establishing and developing their businesses globally. As the financial industry in the Middle East grows, more and more global companies are looking to tap lucrative opportunities in the region. Likewise, companies in the region are targeting customers and building partnerships across the world. DIFC Global responds to these needs by providing a supportive infrastructure for companies to grow their financial business."


Housed in a handsome Grade I listed building in the City of Westminster, the London business centre offers the perfect environment for clients to host customers and partners in a premium business environment. From executive suites and meeting rooms to private booths and individual work stations, DIFC Global's offerings meet a variety of requirements. Flexible lease terms enable companies to rent office space on a daily, weekly, monthly or annual basis.

DIFC Global offers the same quality of services and infrastructure in London that it provides to the financial services community in Dubai. Several global companies have chosen DIFC Global's facilities in Dubai over the last three years to advance their regional businesses.

Amna Al Sayed, CEO of DIFC Global said:
"By providing local support for multinational businesses and international support for local businesses in the world's major financial destinations, DIFC Global supports DIFC's mission to be a leading player in the global financial industry. DIFC Global provides services that assist companies in enhancing their global reach. DIFC Global goes beyond conventional business-centre offerings to provide unique solutions for businesses exploring new global business opportunities."


Companies setting up offices in DIFC Global's London business centre will benefit from the business links and opportunities facilitated by the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). Apart from greater access to the fast-growing regional market, they will benefit from the development opportunities offered by its subsidiaries like the DIFC Centre of Excellence (CoE) and Mudara - The Institute of Directors (IoD).
