LET West London Colocation Providers

I was wondering (making early enquiries, and I am not ready to enter contracts, etc.) if any LET providers offered colocation facilities in West London. I have been really impressed with the dedicated server/colocation deal from Breezehost (dedicated server colocated in Charlotte, USA - cheers @jonbeard and @BreezeHost_Ryan ) and I think I have the colo bug (sounds particularly infective, I know).
West London/Heathrow Airport area would be convenient for me to use my own hardware, but I would love it if any providers offered similar deals to Breezehost's in London (or elsewhere in the UK/EU)

We would be interested to provide you colo but sadly we dont have racks in West London would Birmingham in the UK at all be suitable?
Hi,
We’d love to offer you a colo spot in our Docklands (London, East) facility. We fly in and out from Heathrow regularly and trip is very manageable.
Looking at breeze hosts pricing it’s going to be difficult to compete with that in the EU (but London specifically) due to the higher bottom line costs there.
If you can provide me with actuals on power and bandwidth requirements I’ll try and get you a quote as close to Breeze as possible!
Docklands and West?
This is what we call an idiot moment on my half there.
Hi @Jack_SBE - I've seen Scaleblade's offers independently of LET. I'm looking to eventually move away from VPSs, and although I do like Hetzner's offerings, I would eventually like to announce my own subnet/use my own hardware. To have easy access to the server is a must (as not everyone can drive). Living in West London near Heathrow, Docklands wouldn't be overly convenient. That being said, Scaleblade is much more competitive than anything offered in most West London colo facilities. Thanks for your reply. Just exploring options at the moment and yours have been the closest to matching requirements.
Might not be the most convenient but the Elizabeth line is an almost direct link between Heathrow and DDC
Thanks for the shoutout! In our research, London power is considerably more expensive (while we are looking to expand into the European market). You may be able to find more affordable options in the Netherlands with close enough proximity if this doesn't yield any results for you my friend.
Below is my affordable 3 step plan to colocation in London
I remember few years back i had colocation in reading there is some providers Out there
