Google finds a big new home while it waits for its ambitious London HQ
Google wants to build some extravagant new offices at London's King's Cross, but after putting those plans on ice, the firm seems to be looking at other options. It had already agreed to rent half of a 350,000 square foot site at 6 Pancras Square, but CityAM reports that it's now taking the other half too. The offices, set to be completed later this year, will be a far cry from what Google originally envisioned. The company had planned to build its own, 950,000 square foot offices at a different site in King's Cross, complete with roof-top running track, swimming pool and connected cycling ramps. But apparently the project wasn't ambitious enough and Google's architects have been told to go back to the drawing board. It's now delayed until at least 2017 -- that doesn't mean the project has been abandoned completely, but while those plans are in flux Google is clearly settling for plan B.
