Google expands in London
 

Wants to hire 10,000 people

Google is seriously expanding its presence in London, snapping up the Central Saint Giles development next to Tottenham Court Road station for $1 billion as part of a plan to expand its UK workforce to 10,000 people.

The company is continuing to build its flagship UK office space in King’s Cross, announced in 2013 and costing another £1 billion.

According to The Guardian, the King’s Cross office will be finished in 2022 and will be 11 storeys.

All this is happening as many companies are realising that the days of big offices are done as it can take only one pandemic to make the investment pretty pointless.
Google said it was aware that the working landscape has changed during the pandemic, especially in relation to working in an office. The plan, according to the company, is to let employees use a hybrid model.
