This office location is listed during the years 1900 and 1905 as one of her locations. Due to its proximity to legal and financial institutions of The City of London, it is possible this office catered more to those fields, while her offices in Tavistock Street were kept busy with theatrical and literary work. Her office at 8 Old Jewry Road was located on the third floor of the "West Building." The directory indicates that her business was surrounded by other offices: most of these other concerns appear to have been engaged in mining and other extractive practices in locations such as South Africa and Zimbabwe (then called "Rhodesia" by the imperialists and colonizers). Another of Ethel's business neighbors at 8 Old Jewry Road bore a closer relation to her: Architect Thomas Bostock Whinney also had offices at this address, and on the same floor as Ethel Dickens. Whinney was Ethel's brother-in-law, her sister Sydney's husband, and he would later employ their brother, Charles Walter Dickens, as secretary in his architecture firm (according to the 1911 and 1921 censuses).
