# AWS adds London-region inference for two Claude models

_Published Thursday, October 1, 2026 at 7:08 AM EDT · AI, Infrastructure · Developing · Tier 2 — Notable_

AWS has added in-region support for Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Sonnet 5 on Amazon Bedrock in the UK's London Region. AWS says customers can now run these models at scale while keeping inference processing within the United Kingdom.

The models are available through the bedrock-runtime endpoint in eu-west-2. AWS says inference requests and data are processed within the region called and never leave it. The availability targets customers with UK processing requirements, including financial services, healthcare and public-sector organizations.
