Kings Cross is Europe’s New AI Capital, and We’re Right in the Middle of It
OpenAI. Anthropic. Jeff Bezos’s Project Prometheus. Scale AI. One by one, the world’s most powerful tech companies are planting their flag in one London postcode. Kings Cross has quietly become the most exciting place to base a business in Europe, and the momentum is only building.
America’s two leading AI labs have already committed to offices in the area for a combined 1,300 staff. Anthropic has signed for 158,000 sq ft at One Triton Square. OpenAI has taken 88,500 sq ft at Regent Quarter. Bezos’s Project Prometheus is reportedly in talks to take three floors at the Jellicoe Building. Scale AI has relocated its international HQ to Pancras Square. This isn’t a coincidence, it’s a signal.
Veteran investor Saul Klein has called Kings Cross the “new Square Mile”, home to the greatest concentration of tech companies outside Silicon Valley or Beijing. According to CBRE, AI firms alone are forecast to take up 4 million sq ft of London office space by 2033, up from 1.5 million today. The centre of gravity for the global tech industry is shifting, and it’s shifting here.
Why Kings Cross?
The talent is the obvious answer. DeepMind, Wayve, and Synthesia have been here for years. Cambridge is 45 minutes by train. The Eurostar puts the best engineering talent in Europe within reach. For companies that need to hire fast and hire well, no postcode in the UK comes close.
But it goes beyond talent. Kings Cross has the infrastructure, the connectivity, and increasingly the energy of a place where things are actually happening. Being here puts you in proximity to the people, the ideas, and the conversations that matter.
