Revealed: Google's SECRET London office
Earlier this week, El Reg got its sweaty paws on some exclusive snaps of the new Google outpost in London's Central St Giles building. Our correspondent noted that some staff will relocate to the new pad from the search monolith's current base in Victoria, but wondered just where the rest of the Google drones would end up once …

That's better...
When I saw the first article, I assumed playmobile, and then I thought "strewth - the sets have got better"...
This is far more like Google - shiny and plasticy
Chocolate Factory
And I was expecting a picture of that closed down Cadbury factory with Google spray painted over the sign...
Holy crap!
They've hired a giant Chris de Burgh to protect their booty!
All working for Google?

Re: Bloody brilliant!
Clocks going forward means one less hour to get over my hangover :(
Still, i guess it's better for my twighlight peeping-Tom activities.
Nice work...
That last picture looks like a set from a breakfast TV program.
I still miss the hollowed out volcano though.
"... we can't tell you exactly where since our informant "Deep Throat" obliged us to swear a solemn oath of silence ..."
How ironic, given that your informant's pseudonym implies no gagging.
I just have one burning question...
When is the Deep Throat of El Reg gonna speak??
