Gate News message, April 17 — Anthropic plans to expand its London office to accommodate 800 staff, up from over 200 currently, marking a significant growth in the city’s Knowledge Quarter. The expansion comes days after OpenAI announced plans to establish its first permanent office in the UK capital.
Anthropc describes London as one of its most important research and commercial hubs outside the United States. The new site will position the AI company near other major players in the region, including OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Meta, Synthesia, and Wayve, strengthening London’s role as a leading AI hub.
The expansion reflects Anthropic’s enterprise-focused strategy, with approximately 85% of its revenue generated from business customers. London’s growth as an AI destination is supported by UK government incentives, including competitive research and development tax credits, as well as a deep talent pool—the city has more engineers than any other European city.
