The fruity tax dodger Apple is going to take up six floors of the iconic Battersea Power Plant when the restoration work is finished.
Apple will move onto the site in 2021 and relocating 1400 staff from offices around London to create an Apple campus. It is being billed as one of the biggest property deals in London outside the City and Docklands in the last 20 years.
This means that Jobs’ Mob will have 1400 staff working in London and there is room to accommodate 3000 staff.
Of course that is not going to be Apple’s HQ. That will remain in its Irish Tax haven in Cork.
Apple said that the new building is a great opportunity to have our entire team working and collaborating in one location while supporting the renovation of a neighbourhood rich with history.
The Art Deco power station is a 20th century icon. The plant is still the largest brick building in Europe. It stopped generating power in 1983, has been falling to bits ever since. It was bought by a Malaysian group, who have gutted it and are building luxury apartments and high end office space inside it.
