London Marketplace Startups

Marketplace startups connect two groups of people who want to trade with each other: buyers and sellers, clients and freelancers, travellers and hosts, or businesses and their suppliers. The company’s job is to make it easy for both sides to find each other and to trust the deal.

A marketplace usually has to win over both sides at the same time, which makes a big, dense city a good place to start. London has a large population, many small businesses and a wide range of specialist services, so marketplaces can reach enough people on both sides in one place.

This page lists the marketplace companies on London Startup Map that have a London office, grouped by the funding stage recorded on each listing. Open a company to see what it connects, where its office is, who founded it and any events it is linked to, or use the map to see which marketplace teams are near you. Listings are not a ranking or a recommendation to buy or sell; check each company’s own website for current terms.
