JP Morgan is not quitting

Posted on

The FT has a headline this morning that says:

JP Morgan ready to axe £1.5bn London HQ

I guess it was designed to make it look like another “banker quitting London story”.

Except it isn't. As the story continues, it’s:

opting instead for the former UK premises of Lehman Brothers.

In other words — bad news for construction, no doubt. But otherwise a misleading story giving the impression of bank instability in London when there is none.
