Google commits to massive new London headquarters

Tech giant announces it is going ahead with delayed plans to build a campus for 7,000 employees with Olympic cauldron designer Heatherwick Studio on board

Google has confirmed plans to build a new headquarters in London and create 3,000 jobs, in a move that will be seen as a vote of confidence in Britain's prospects after Brexit.

The project, which involves building a vast headquarters next to Google's existing base in King's Cross, central London, was thrown into doubt by the EU referendum and disagreement about its design.
