King's Cross is emerging as London's primary hub for artificial intelligence. Google will open its 1 million-square-foot UK headquarters in the district. The facility is slated to open in late 2026. This Knowledge Quarter location draws tech firms away from the traditional Silicon Roundabout.
OpenAI and Anthropic cemented the district's status as a global AI hub in April 2026. OpenAI secured its first permanent London office in King's Cross for over 500 employees. Anthropic plans to quadruple its local presence. The new Anthropic office will accommodate 800 staff. These firms join existing industry leaders like Google's DeepMind.
