For over thirteen years, Irving Scott has been the agency of choice for London's most distinguished families. From the grand townhouses of Mayfair to the garden squares of Belgravia, we have placed more than two thousand household professionals in positions where excellence is not a preference — it is a requirement.
Our consultants possess an intimate understanding of London's prime postcodes and the exacting standards each neighbourhood demands. We do not simply fill vacancies; we engineer perfect matches between exceptional staff and extraordinary households, ensuring cultural alignment, professional capability, and lasting compatibility.

The London Advantage
London is home to 4,750 ultra-high-net-worth individuals — more than any other European city. This concentration of wealth creates unparalleled demand for elite household professionals, driving the most competitive salaries and the highest standards of service anywhere in the world.
One in three UHNW families in London holds a second nationality. This cosmopolitan reality means multilingual staff, cultural adaptability, and experience with internationally mobile households are not luxuries — they are essentials. London is where global standards converge.
For household professionals, a London placement represents the peak of their career. The training infrastructure — from the Ivor Spencer Butler School to Norland College — produces world-class talent, while the breadth of roles ensures genuine specialisation and progression.
