Why Russian?
Russian is an East Slavic language, written in the Cyrillic alphabet. It is the official language of Russia, and it is widely spoken in Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic states, the Caucasus and Central Asia. So the Russian speakers you meet in London come from many countries, not one. A Russian interpreter London courts, clinics and firms can rely on needs the language and the setting, and also a feel for those differences.

What Our Clients Say
We brought in this team for a two-day assignment. Our client needed an interpreter throughout, and they delivered without a single issue. Punctual, professional, and the interpreter handled some fairly technical legal discussion without missing a beat.
English is not my first language and the legal process here was quite confusing. The interpreter was patient, not just translating words but making sure I understood what was going on. The price was fair, no surprises at the end.
Excellent service! Very professional.
Very affordable and professional.
I had an excellent experience with IM translation services. They delivered fast, professional, and reliable service at a very reasonable rate. Communication was smooth, and everything was handled efficiently without any delays.

Russian Interpreter London: How Our Service Works
Looking for a Russian interpreter in London? Our agency is based in the capital and works with NRPSI registered, DBS-checked Russian interpreters who attend in any borough, or join by video or phone from anywhere in the UK. Our wider offer is on the interpreting services in London page.
A booking starts with the setting and the subject. A police interview uses different words from a dental visit. So we ask what the job involves, then choose and brief the right Russian interpreter London clients can trust, and give you a fixed price first.
What does a Russian interpreter do in court or at the police station?
The Russian interpreter London solicitors book conveys everything said, in both directions, and keeps the speaker’s tone. They do not advise, explain the law or give opinions. Most legal work uses consecutive interpreting, so speakers pause after a few sentences.
- Solicitor meetings and police interviews
- Immigration and asylum interviews
- Tribunals and court hearings
- Video hearings, using a live Russian interpreter
Which language does a Russian-speaking client need?
Not every Russian speaker wants Russian in a formal setting. People from Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic states or Central Asia may prefer their own language. Ask the person first. See the language guide above, or tell us the country, and we help you choose.
Why do Russian names need extra care?
One Russian name can be spelt several ways in Roman letters. Юрий may appear as Yuri, Yury or Iurii, and the passport spelling is the one that counts. Russian names also include a patronymic, such as Ivanovich, and surnames change with gender, as in Ivanov and Ivanova. Give the interpreter each name in Cyrillic and Roman letters.
How do you brief a Russian interpreter?
Good briefing makes a big difference. Send these items before the booking:
- The date, place and length of the booking, and the agenda if there is one
- Names of everyone attending, in Roman letters and in Cyrillic, with patronymics
- Slides, documents and a list of technical terms
- The audience, and how formal the setting will be
Tell us if the client prefers a female or male interpreter. We confirm availability when we quote.
Do you provide a Russian medical interpreter?
Yes. Our Russian interpreter London team works at GP surgeries, hospitals, dental clinics and mental health assessments. They stay impartial and confidential. For medical work, you can ask for a female or male interpreter. See our police interpreter, immigration interpreter and asylum interpreter pages for legal settings.
Do you also translate Russian documents?
Yes. Need documents translated as well? See the translation section above, or our Russian translation page. Certified translation comes with a signed statement of accuracy.
How much does a Russian interpreter cost per hour?
A Russian interpreter London booking costs £35–£45 per hour. The final figure depends on the setting, the duration, the venue and how much notice you give. Read how we quote for more. The price is fixed before you book.
