The FCA will officially move to its impressive new HQ in Stratford, near the London Stadium, venue for the 2012 Olympics, on Sunday.

The regulator's new 425,000 square foot home on the edge of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park will be at 12 Endeavour Square, London, E20 1JN.

The offices will become the watchdog's new registered address from Sunday as it leaves its Canary Wharf HQ at 25 North Colonnade.

The FCA’s 3,500 staff working at the impressive new complex, part of the International Quarter London, will have the benefit of gym access, a roof terrace and a 200-seat auditorium. The Westfield Stratford City shopping centre, with hundreds of shops and restaurants and a 24 hour casino, is close by.

The FCA says while some departments, such as communications, will be temporarily unavailable during the move most departments should not be affected. The move has been planned for some years.

On its website the FCA says: "From July 2018 we will be based at our new London offices. This will offer a compelling mix of a quality building, excellent facilities and the right infrastructure to meet our future needs."

Email and internet access and telephone number access to the FCA should not be affected.
