Food delivery firm Deliveroo has moved into a new global headquarters in London as it transitions from being a small startup into a more serious corporation.
The 55,000 square foot office on Cannon Street in the City of London — a part of the city jammed with banks and law firms — is currently home to around 600 Deliveroo employees. However, there’s space for Deliveroo to accommodate the 300 additional engineers that it plans to hire before the end of the year.
The office — which is partly funded with $475 million (£364 million) from investors — comes complete with an on-site gym, 27 meeting rooms named after the company’s favourite foods, and a shared rooftop overlooking the River Thames.
Dan Warne, Deliveroo’s UK and Ireland managing director, told Business Insider: “At our new office we’re creating one of London’s biggest tech hubs, which will continue to support and grow the British technology industry.”
There are 27 meeting rooms and a number of “quiet zones.”
