Uber to double London office space following rapid growth

Uber will double the size of its London office with a move from King’s Cross to Aldgate following rapid growth in the City.

The smartphone taxi booking firm, which was founded in San Francisco in 2008 by Stumbleupon creator Garrett Camp and Red Swoosh’s Travis Kalanick, will take 40,000 square feet of space at Aldgate Developments’ Aldgate Tower, which is a six minute walk from Liverpool Street station and Shoreditch, according to The Independant.

Advised by property agent BNP Paribas Real Estate, the company will relocate from around 20,000 square feet in north London.

Chief executive Kalanick said this year the service could create 50,000 jobs in Europe.
