Facebook's new London office brings 800 jobs to the capital

The tech giant's new building will focus on engineering, and will also house LDN-LAB, a new scheme to nurture UK tech startups

Facebook will create 800 new jobs in London over the next year, increasing its UK workforce by more than 50%, as it opens a new office in the capital on Monday.

The US tech giant has had offices in the UK for 10 years, but its expansion marks a vote of confidence in the UK amid the uncertainty of Brexit.
