The Shard, also referred to as the Shard of Glass, Shard London Bridge and formerly London Bridge Tower, is a 95-storey skyscraper in Southwark, London, that forms part of the London Bridge Quarter development.
Google is making plans for its new 92,000-square metre “landscraper” London headquarters, construction to commence in Q2 2018. The building will stand 11 storeys tall and will span parallel across London’s King’s Cross railway station.
The floor of the building will have a Wellness Centre - containing gyms, massage rooms a narrow swimming pool and multi-use indoor sports pitch, and a rooftop garden split over multiple storeys showcasing around three areas: a “plateau”, “gardens” and “fields”, planted with strawberries, gooseberries and sage.
A 200-metre-long trails runs through the roof, while peckish employees can grab food in one of four cafes, including a main one which spans three stories with a walkaway to the station. The area will form a new campus that will house 7,000 Google employees.
