WORKTECH26 AI + Digital Technologies is proudly hosted by Meta at 11-21 Canal Reach, London.

The offices are a substantial investment in London with more than 620,000 square feet of office space and almost 5,000 workstations. Part of the carbon neutral King’s Cross estate, the offices were constructed using leading sustainable building techniques and are being entirely supplied by green gas. They are home to engineering teams working on Instagram, Reality Labs (which is building the future of connection within virtual and augmented reality), Workplace, and Ads & Business Products.

London is already Meta’s largest engineering hub outside the US with more than 4,000 employees based at offices in Brock Street and King’s Cross.

10 Lewis Cubitt Square, designed by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris (AHMM) Architects offers nine floors of office space, a fifth-floor wraparound terrace and retail space at ground level.

The two new buildings will become home to engineering teams working on Instagram, Reality Labs (which is building the future of connection within virtual and augmented reality), Workplace and Ads & Business Products.

London is already Meta’s largest engineering hub outside the US with more than 4,000 employees based at offices in Brock Street, Rathbone Place, Shaftesbury Avenue and now King’s Cross.

King’s Cross is London’s fastest growing district and has, over the past decade, outperformed all other London Opportunity Areas for employment and population growth. At the heart of the knowledge quarter, it has become a hub for creative and digital businesses, an important location for business in the capital attracting major global companies. On completion, circa 42,000 employees will be working across the estate.
