Edinburgh - heavy concentration of fund management.

But Edinburgh isnt in England ... Realistically the answer is no - at least working for a bank. You could look at financial software development companies - their main sites may be outside London.

linuxuser99 You will never get a job in Scotland for that one!

Some of the universities do industry funded research, and they're outside the M25, but it's not well paid, and the main academics get what little glory comes out

>> But Edinburgh isnt in England ... OK - I hang my head in shame. And me having gone to uni in glasgow.But is the OP really only interested in England or the Brit Isles?

Southampton has a number of insurance companies there ...I know skandia's headquarters is located there...and where there are insurance companies you can bet your bottom dollar that some quant divsion is located somewhere there....plus you could also consider jersey/gurnsey....Since it offshore I'm sure some hedge funds are located there

I applied for quant position in Oxford some time ago. I've no contact address anymore (stolen laptop), but I think it was something like OXaM.

Alas, recent tax changes make it unlikely that the Channel Islands will grow much of a HF industry.However, if your definition of "Britain" is flexible then we have the Cayman Islands, who do has some interesting things.Of course I'm outside London, the border runs just past the bottom of my garden.I've been outside the M25, won't do that again in a hurry.
