Google invests $1 billion in London-based data centre

1 Min Read

Google has announced a $1 billion (€919 million) investment in a new data centre in the UK as part of its latest commitment to meeting the growing demand for internet services in the country.

 The construction of the new site in Waltham Cross, north of London, which Google acquired in 2020, is already underway.

Two years ago, the UK made progress in delivering improved digital infrastructure, with superfast broadband coverage rising to 97%.

This is not the first time that Google has invested in the UK, where it currently employs over 7,000 people.

In 2022, the giant technology company purchased more than one site in central London, including a building in Covent Garden, and another site in nearby King’s Cross, where Google is building a new office and where its AI company DeepMind is also based.
