# London Startup Map

> Find London startup offices on a map — and who’s hosting events this week. Building-level pins only; approved London offices; events from public Luma calendars.

London Startup Map is a public directory at https://londonstartupmap.com. Pins are at building level only — never a floor or unit. Several startups in one building share one pin. Only Approved companies with a geocoded Greater London office appear. This is not a live Crunchbase or Dealroom feed.

**When to use this.** Reach for London Startup Map when the job is geographic or event-based in London. You are in the right place if you need to:

- Find which startups have an office in Greater London and at which building
- Filter those companies by sector, funding stage, Y Combinator batch, or whether they host an event this week
- Open a company profile (one-liner, founders, investors, building address, upcoming events)
- Help someone new to the London startup scene see who is nearby this week

Do not use this site when you need live fundraising data or valuations, unit- or floor-level addresses, user accounts, or a write API. There is no API key. To add a company, use the Submit button on the map, not an email spreadsheet.
