London – a great place to work and live
Based in Bank, in the heart of London City, the Transact office is at the epicentre of London’s busiest financial district.
We are located just a short distance from the Bank of England, The Royal Exchange and The Monument as well as modern structures such as the Lloyds building and the Gherkin.
Bank’s rich heritage, commanding architecture and wide range of high-end and chain eateries and bars, make it an exciting place to work and socialise.
Transact’s annual summer and Christmas events, and more casual staff get-togethers throughout the year try to explore the range of diverse and interesting venues that the city has to offer.
Bank is exceptionally well connected via tube, bus and train to all boroughs of the city. So, whether you want to live right in the buzzing centre, or in leafy suburban serenity, our office in Bank gives the flexibility to be based where suits you best.
