Rapidly expanding streaming giant Netflix has significantly increased its presence in central London with a new office.
Property sources told the Evening Standard the California-headquartered firm this summer signed a lease for around 20,000 square feet on Berners Street. The deal, brokered by agent CBRE, is with high-end serviced offices operator Fora and staff have started moving in.
The space is in addition to Netflix’s nearby 20,000 square feet office in Fitzrovia.
Meanwhile, Netflix has appointed JLL to find it an even larger London office, up to 160,000 sq ft, to eventually move into, according to property website React News.
