Estate agents have dismissed fears that thousands of financial services jobs are leaving London due to Brexit, with one property manager reporting a 35% jump in people signing tenancy agreements in Canary Wharf, home to some of the world’s largest banks.

Financial News contacted 10 residential estate agents based in Canary Wharf, the financial district where 120,000 people work, who said there has been a spike in lettings activity. This is despite reports that finance employees are moving out of London as a result of Brexit.
