Snapchat owner to more than double London office space - report

Snap Inc, the owner of photo messaging app Snapchat, has reportedly signed a deal that will more than double its London office footprint.

According to the Evening Standard, New York-listed Snap has agreed to take close to 115,000 square feet in a pre-let at a soon-to-be completed building.

The Clerkenwell development - called Boom - features offices, terraces, a fitness studio and more than 200 bike spaces, the Standard said.

Snap is understood to have a team of around 400 in the capital, but the size of the space Snap is taking could be used to house some 1500 people potentially in the future.

Talks for the letting were reported by property news site EG in June, but the deal has only just been inked, according to Standard sources.
