First Renders of Google's Massive New London HQ Gallery
Google has revealed the first renders of the massive headquarters it's planning in London. The company has been involved in a grand plan to rehabilitate London's King Cross area.
The search giant bought a huge stretch of land there for $1 billion (€765 million) and is building a rather large complex.
The building is stretched out rather than up. It will have 11 stories at most, but will be 330 meters long, longer than the tallest skyscraper in Western Europe is tall.
The company says the new headquarters will house 35,000 people once completed, though, presumably, those won't all be Google employees. The company has about as many employees now, worldwide.
The new headquarters will be environmentally-friendly, of course. The ground floor will be dedicated to cafes and shops and the rooftop will be a garden. Work on the building is expected to start next year and end in 2017.
