Because a few years ago, nobody believed in this place. That was a big mistake. In fact, companies are fighting to stay here.

Visa just signed a 15-year here on a 300,000 square foot office, moving their European headquarters here from Paddington. And then there's the biggest one, Revolut, just opened their global HQ here, directly facing the JP Morgan building, who are expanding to a 3 million square foot building, the biggest office building in London.
