AI consultancy in London, since 2011.

An independent research centre in Bloomsbury advising UK organisations on what artificial intelligence can honestly do for them — and what it cannot.

↓ scrollitresearches.com

IT Researches has been headquartered in London since 2011, with a registered office at 27 Old Gloucester Street in Bloomsbury and a second London office in Ilford. We advise boards, CTOs and heads of data across financial services, healthcare, retail, manufacturing and the public sector on where artificial intelligence pays back and where it does not.

We are vendor-neutral by construction: no reseller margins, no referral fees, no platform commissions. That independence is the product. It is also why a meaningful share of our engagements end with the recommendation to buy something off the shelf, fix a data pipeline, or do nothing at all this year.

  • AI strategy and opportunity assessment
  • Data readiness and feasibility studies
  • Model risk review and second opinions
  • Vendor and platform selection (unpaid, unaffiliated)
  • Delivery of production AI systems
  • Team enablement and operator handover
§ 01

What a London AI consultancy is actually for

Most organisations that call us do not need a model. They need a decision about whether a model is the right answer, made by someone who does not earn more if the answer is yes. That is the core of the work: separating the problems where machine learning compounds a real advantage from the ones where a cleaner data pipeline, a better rule, or a bought product would do the job for a tenth of the money.

The second thing a consultancy is for is arriving after something has gone wrong. A pilot that scored beautifully and failed in production, a vendor model nobody can explain to an auditor, a forecast the planners quietly stopped using. These reviews are unglamorous and frequently the highest-value week a client buys from us.

§ 02

How we work with London organisations

Engagements start with a 30-minute call, at no cost, to establish whether the problem is tractable and whether we are the right people for it. If both hold, the first paid engagement is a two-to-four-week data readiness and feasibility assessment, delivered as a written report with a measured baseline, a realistic accuracy ceiling and a costed set of options — including the option not to proceed.

Delivery, if it follows, is quoted against those findings. We build into the estate you already run rather than asking for a migration, and every system ships with the pipelines, evaluation harness, monitoring and runbook your own team needs to own it. There is no proprietary runtime to keep renting from us afterwards.

§ 03

Sectors we serve from London

Financial services in the City and Canary Wharf: streaming fraud detection, KYC document understanding and explainable credit models that survive internal model-risk review. Healthcare and life sciences across the NHS estate and private providers: imaging triage, clinical documentation copilots and knowledge graphs built on HL7/FHIR with a clinical safety case attached.

Retail and FMCG head offices: hierarchical demand forecasting reconciled across SKU, store and week, connected into S&OP rather than into a dashboard nobody opens. Manufacturing and logistics across the South East and the Midlands: line-speed visual inspection, acoustic anomaly detection and predictive maintenance. Public sector and research bodies: transparent, audit-trailed decision support that survives procurement and freedom-of-information scrutiny.

What you get

Outcomes, not just outputs

/ 01

Local, in person

Bloomsbury and Ilford offices mean workshops, whiteboards and factory-floor visits across Greater London and the South East without a travel line in the invoice.

/ 02

Fifteen years of context

We have watched three AI hype cycles from London. That context is why our feasibility assessments are shorter and our estimates less optimistic.

/ 03

Vendor-neutral advice

No margins, no commissions, no partner tiers. The recommendation is the recommendation.

/ 04

UK-ready governance

Model cards, lineage and monitoring plans sized for UK GDPR, FCA and MHRA expectations, and EU AI Act obligations for cross-border operations.

/ 05

Multilingual delivery

English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Chinese — useful for London headquarters running international operations.

/ 06

Honest scoping

A fixed-scope assessment before a build quote. We do not price a system we have not yet seen the data for.

FAQ

Common questions, candid answers.

Where is IT Researches based in London?+

Our registered head office is at 27 Old Gloucester Street, London WC1N 3AX, in Bloomsbury, with a second London office at Forest House, 3rd floor, 16–20 Clements Road, Ilford IG1 1BA. We have operated from London since 2011.

Do you work with clients outside London?+

Yes. London is our base, not our boundary — we deliver across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas, in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Chinese. On-site presence in Greater London and the South East is straightforward; elsewhere we combine remote delivery with scheduled on-site workshops.

What does an AI consultancy engagement in London typically cost?+

A data readiness and feasibility assessment is a fixed-scope engagement of two to four weeks. Delivery work that follows is quoted against the assessment findings rather than before them, because quoting a build before seeing the data is guesswork dressed as a proposal.

Are you independent of AI vendors and cloud providers?+

Yes. We take no reseller margin, no referral fee and no platform commission. We recommend the model, stack and hosting that fit the problem — including recommending an off-the-shelf product instead of a build when that is the honest answer.

Can you support UK regulatory and governance requirements?+

Yes. We deliver model cards, data lineage, evaluation reports and monitoring plans as standard, sized for UK GDPR, sector regulators such as the FCA and MHRA, and EU AI Act obligations where clients operate across both jurisdictions.

How do we start a conversation?+

Email Hi@itresearches.com or call +44 8008 321 848. The first conversation is a 30-minute call to establish whether the problem is tractable and whether we are the right people for it — no charge and no pitch deck.
