Bloomberg has opened a huge new Norman Foster-designed HQ in London
Bloomberg has opened a new European headquarters in London with enough space for over 4,000 staff.
The 1.1 million sq ft site — based in two buildings joined by bridges — is located between the Bank of England and St Paul's Cathedral in London's famous Square Mile.
It features a giant 210 metre ramp at its heart that aims to encourage collaboration between workers and a pantry with free snacks and views over London.
The office will be opened by Bloomberg's billionaire founder and CEO, Michael Bloomberg, on Tuesday. Guests will include Norman Foster and Sadiq Khan.
Here's what it looks like:
The office is spread across two 10-storey buildings.
It features 9,600 tonnes of Derbyshire sandstone.
The office is located on top of a site of historical importance. The site was previously home to the ancient Temple of Mithras and Roman London's commercial centre.
The finds included 400 fragments of writing tablets. One of the tablets is the first hand-written document known from Britain and the first reference to London ever recorded.
