This is a summary of some UK/London-based agencies for senior-level UK contracts (architect/engineer/developer) in finance (eg fixed-income/derivatives investment banking in the City or Canary Wharf) where the primary implemention language is Java or C++ (ie cross-platform), and which strongly feature scalability/distribution/parallelism/security, eg Web-facing, threading, J2EE, task-farming, P&L, scenarios. UNIX (eg Linux/Solaris) is often needed for back-end projects.
This selection is based on my interactions with the agencies recently, and, where relevant, back as far as about Y2K.
