DeepMind is opening a huge new London headquarters in 2020

DeepMind, the Alphabet-owned artificial intelligence company, will be moving into a new flagship building in 2020. While a precise date is yet to be determined, the company hopes that the new headquarters – which will feature a double helix staircase descending through a library, a roof garden, lecture theatre and lobby artwork by creatives working with data and artificial intelligence – will be operational in the first half of next year. DeepMind is currently located near to the new site in London's Kings Cross, where it has two floors in the Google building. It also has smaller, satellite offices in Paris, Edmonton, Alberta and Mountain View, California. The new, 11-storey DeepMind headquarters will cement the reputation of the Kings Cross area as London's so-called'knowledge quarter': as well as Google, Facebook has taken office space nearby, as has Samsung.
