> (Reuters) – Google delivered a vote of confidence in London’s future as a technological hub after the Brexit vote on Tuesday by announcing plans for a new building in the King’s Cross area of the city that will house thousands of extra engineers.
There's something wrong with this story. I've been hearing about a Google building in King's Cross ever since I moved here, so that's been around 2 and a half years. They didn't just announce it.
