Share trading these days are networked server farms that can be, and are, anywhere with reliable electricity and data links.  'London,' as such, has as much to do with the process of trading as Phoenix Arizona.

Swiss ready to retaliate against EU over stock market access
SIX, the operator of the Swiss bourse, said it welcomed the Swiss decision to activate the protective measures, as this meant EU market participants could still access the Swiss domestic market and continue to be able to trade Swiss shares directly at SIX.

Pan-European stock trading platform Aquis Exchange Plc said; "If equivalence is not extended, and if the Swiss Federal Department of Finance (FDF) rescinds recognition of EU trading venues for the trading of Swiss securities, then Aquis Exchange will take the necessary steps to comply with the directive."
