Google's new digs in Blighty's capital - as wide expected - are being inbuilt Kings Cross, London, the corporate has confirmed.
The world's biggest ad broker is reportedly sinking £650m into its new home.
The company's United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland headquarters are currently in Victoria, however the lease for that building runs move into 2016.
It's been speculated that Google's new military installation, that is on a two.4 acre plot at the Kings Cross Central development, are price a cool £1bn by the time work on that is completed.
Construction on the site can begin later this year on a building that will "range in height" from seven to eleven storeys tall. Google said in a very statement that its New London home won't spoil its United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Oompa-Loompas who can apparently get pleasure from a "state of the art, flexible operating environment".
Meanwhile, Google's Northern and Central Europe veep Matt Brittin seemed to get his knickers in a very twist regarding where the worldwide internet was 1st hatched with this comment:
This is an enormous investment by Google, we’re committing more to the united kingdom - where computing and therefore the internet were fabricated. It’s good news for Google, for London and for the united kingdom.
Pedants can note the error: whereas a Brit - Sir Tim Berners Lee - did so invent the net, the magic did not happen on blighty turf.
As got wind by Reg reader Jonathan: "The precise location at CERN is seemingly in office in France with its entrance in Suisse."
