WHY LON1

Reach, resilience and room to scale

Connect with networks

Direct access to hundreds of member networks across a broad range of industries, regions and network types.

Flexible port options

LON1 supports a wide range of port speeds and bandwidths, from 10GE through to 400GE, so you can scale as your traffic grows.

Redundancy across London

Connecting at more than one LON1 site gives you genuine path diversity and strengthens your overall network resilience.

Lower latency, shorter paths

LON1 makes the route between you and other networks more direct, fewer hops, shorter paths, and traffic that stays closer to the end user.

OUR SERVICES

Available at LON1

Connect directly with hundreds of networks to exchange traffic. Direct interconnection lowers latency, gives you greater control over how traffic flows, and makes it simple to expand as demand grows.

Explore Peering

Secure, low-latency connections to Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud and more, over LINX infrastructure rather than the public internet. Reliable uptime and greater control over your traffic.

Explore Cloud Connect

Host your infrastructure in professionally managed data centres, with direct access to LINX interconnection services and to the networks and partners already connected there.

Explore Colocation

A direct connection between your network and Microsoft cloud services, with optimal routing for Microsoft 365, Teams and Azure. Low latency and reliable performance for business-critical traffic.

Explore Microsoft Azure Peering

Separate and manage multiple network connections over a single physical port, keeping private traffic isolated within LINX infrastructure while simplifying how you manage it.

Explore Private VLAN

A private Layer 2 network connecting multiple sites, partners or customers, for controlled traffic exchange within LINX infrastructure.

Explore Closed User Group

LINX Protect is free to all members peering via our route servers. It identifies malicious traffic during an attack and drops it before it reaches your infrastructure, using Remotely Triggered Black Hole filtering.

Explore DDoS Mitigation

Connect remotely to partner exchanges in Tokyo, Rome and New York, with full membership at each and no additional PoP to run.

Explore IXConnect

Third-Party Fabric

Reach LINX from a data centre where we have no PoP, over a partner exchange fabric. Currently available from Equinix into LON1.
