Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co has been advising on some large-scale merger and acquisition deals since its founding in 2007, and a new London office is seen as a way for the firm to build its presence in key European markets.
Having secured agreements on office space at 33 St James’s Square in the exclusive district in the City of Westminster borough, the company is now looking to recruit several dozen new high-level staff members as it aims to grow its business and take advantage of being based a virtual stone’s throw away from BP’s international headquarters.
“We have had phenomenal success in the US and see an opportunity to replicate that in Europe,” explained the group’s chairman and chief executive, Bobby Tudor.
“The specialist boutique model has proved well suited to the sector, and one of our strengths is that we are made up of a combination of senior bankers and industry professionals,” he added.
Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co was set up by a group of former bankers, and the deals it has been advising on in recent years have often involved several billion pounds at a time.
The company is rated by Dealogic among the best merger and acquisition advisory firms in the US, despite having a workforce much smaller than that of many of its rivals in the oil and gas sector.
BP’s international headquarters are at 1 St James’s Square in central London, and the energy giant also has a major office space presence in various other parts of the UK, Europe and the world.
Editor’s notes: In 2016, Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co was acquired by Perella Weinberg Partners and rebranded as TPH&Co. The company describes itself as the energy business of Perella Weinberg Partners, providing advisory services to clients operating in the global energy sector.
Swapping desirable office space districts, Perella Weinberg Partners rented office space on Charlotte Street in sought-after Fitzrovia in 2023, in an office building that also counted the high-profile Boston Consulting Group as a tenant.
BP’s global headquarters remained at St James’s Square, where it employs 500 people.

The property that Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co occupied in 2010 – 33 St James’s Square – offers both conventionally leased office space and flexible office space and workspace solutions that are relatively less onerous as the spaces are held by way of short-term licences and the office rental fee is inclusive of overheads such as utilities, cleaning, reception and concierge services, making for accounting efficiencies.

In March 2026, BP announced that it was moving from its offices in St James’s to new headquarters at Timber Square in Southwark in 2028. The move would also consolidate its Sunbury in Surrey, which would also be vacated.
As of June 2026, Perella Weinberg Partners listed its offices as 80 Charlotte Street, London W1T 4DF.
