Can I Use Your 20 Wenlock Road Address for My Company?

Yes. Our Registered Office Service lets you use 20 Wenlock Road, London, N1 7GU as your company's official registered office, keeping your home address off the public Companies House register. Here's how the service actually works.

Key Takeaways

• Using 20 Wenlock Road as your registered office keeps your home address off the public Companies House register.
• The address sits in N1, close to Old Street's Silicon Roundabout, giving your company a recognised central London business presence.
• We securely open, scan, and forward official statutory mail, and filter out unsolicited junk.
• Your business isn't physically based here, this is your compliance address, while your trading address stays wherever you actually operate.
• The service can also cover your Director and Secretary service addresses, so you don't need to buy this separately.

How Does the Service Work?

If your company isn't already on our system, you'll need to import it first. Once you've purchased the Registered Office Service, update your registered office address to 20-22 Wenlock Road, London, N1 7GU.

If you've also purchased a Service Address for your directors or secretary, remember to update that separately too, since it's a distinct filing from your registered office change.

What Happens to My Mail?

We securely open and scan your official government mail, from bodies like Companies House and HMRC, and filter out unsolicited junk before it reaches you. If you also want to receive general business post or parcels, that's covered by our separate mail forwarding service.

Your business won't be physically based at 20 Wenlock Road. It's your official compliance address, while wherever you actually run your business day to day remains your real trading address. That's completely normal and compliant, provided your registered office continues to meet Companies House's requirements.

Why Use This Address Specifically?

Beyond keeping your home address private, 20 Wenlock Road sits minutes from Old Street's Silicon Roundabout, a location closely associated with the UK's startup and tech scene. A recognised N1 postcode can help your company make a stronger first impression with clients, investors, and partners.

Can I Meet Clients at This Address?

Yes, through our bookable meeting rooms, even though your business isn't based here day to day. We also offer a coworking space nearby if you want a London base to work from regularly, with hot-desking, fixed desks, and private office options available.

What's Nearby?

The area around Wenlock Road sits at the edge of Shoreditch and Angel, with plenty of cafes, pubs, and casual meeting spots within walking distance, along with the Whitecross Street food market. It's a genuinely convenient spot if you're planning to meet clients in person or want an excuse to spend a day working from central London.
