Google DeepMind opens its new London headquarters, named Platform 37 after AlphaGo's historic Move 37
Story Overview
Google DeepMind has begun moving staff into its first wholly owned headquarters outside the US, a purpose-built King’s Cross complex named Platform 37 that nods to both the adjacent rail station and AlphaGo’s famous 2016 move. Early tours show a terraced workspace already in use this summer, with the public AI Exchange space still slated for later in the year.
London talent pool gets a dedicated home
Demis Hassabis has pointed to the city’s deep research community as a reason the new building will help drive future work on safe and scientific AI, though exact occupancy figures and move timelines remain only broadly described as summer 2026 onward.
Public floor opens later for wider debate
The ground-level AI Exchange is planned to host free exhibitions and events focused on AI understanding, but its opening date sits after the main staff move-in and carries no confirmed schedule yet.
Users are celebrating Google DeepMind's new London office Platform 37 honoring AlphaGo, calling it living the dream and praising its impressive momentum.
