Facebook is close to signing a deal for a new British headquarters at the King’s Cross redevelopment in London.

The social media giant is understood to be finalising outline terms with King’s Cross Central, which is majority-owned by the AustralianSuper pension fund. Facebook is expected to take four buildings covering more than 700,000 sq ft, tripling the size of its footprint in the capital.

King’s Cross has emerged as a tech hub since the area north of the station began transformation from semi-derelict industrial land into an estate with offices, shops and restaurants.
