Google UK is taking 14,800 m2 at Legal & General Property and Mitsubishi Estate Company's Central Saint Giles development in the heart of London's West End. As a result of the deal, the office element of the scheme is now let just one year after it was launched. The rental details were not disclosed.

The internet search provider is taking office space on the entire fourth, fifth, and ninth floors and part of the third and sixth floors in the largest letting in central London so far this year.

The vibrantly coloured Central Saint Giles, designed by Renzo Piano, is an office-led, mixed-use development comprising grade-A office space, 56 private apartments, 53 affordable homes and nine new restaurants and café bars over 37,000 m2.

Some Google UK teams will move to this new space, while others will remain in their existing office space in two buildings on Buckingham Palace Road, Victoria.

Cushman & Wakefield and Jones Lang LaSalle advised Central Saint Giles and CBRE acted for Google UK.
