    OP could try sticking their postcode into the CityFibre checker 

    https://cityfibre.com/homes
    Doing this says I can connect. If any provider needs to come out and drill holes etc I need to ask the agent to get permission from the LL. 
    Sounds like that won't be necessary, all the infrastructure's there. One thing, shouldn't that box also have a power lead connected to it (or at least available)?

    So I should be fine going with a cityfibre provider? will have a look around for a power lead.

    Can't be definitive but it certainly looks like it, did that CityFibre lookup give a list of ISPs that serve your postcode?
