Serious Web Agencies in London

Hey guys,

could anybody point me in the direction of some 'serious' web development agencies in London?

I'm looking at putting together a big project for my employer with a budget which could reach 100k and am would like to shortlist a few companies with solid experience. Talking some flash/css/dhtml, UAT, possibly database driven.

I'm not at liberty to discuss the details at the moment so please don't email me or ask, but it would help a great deal if you could help with a few suggestions of people to talk to.

I remember using these boards almost ten years ago when i was more into web development so thought it would be a great place to start again. I have some great memories of those days that included:

2advanced on version1 of their website
the original rayoflight.net (yasuto suga... I think)
ultrashock hadn't even been born
andreas ornedaal (another one probably spelled wrong!)
wireframe.co.za
razorfish still the talk of the town
MarkP and aria floating around the forums
Webagent007 just appeared on the scene
Flashguru

Seems like so long ago now! anyway, appreciate all of your help a great deal,

thanks,

John

couldn't resist

thanks jAQUAN,

have looked at a couple of these guys before, doesn't look like they have a presence in London and i'm not sure their portfolios are what i'm after - something a little more business oriented.

any other ideas?

thanks again!

Moving this to the more appropriate Boardroom. I'm not sure if the CL is the best place for this inquiry.

Good luck.

thanks gerbick,

I look forward to hearing peoples ideas,

John

Dare
Start
Glue
HiRes
Imagination

thanks onine,

a great list. I like the look of dare & glue, and when the time is right will probably touch base with one or two of the others also to see what they can do.

Also, I remember hi-res.net from many moons ago so will be interested to see what their new site looks like when it's done.

any more for any more?
