Technology giant Apple has agreed to create a new campus at the Battersea Power Station site in London.

The deal will see the US firm occupy 500,000 sq ft across six floors of the central Boiler House building by 2021. Some 1,400 Apple employees will be based at the site.

The new campus, which will encompass around 40% of the total office space available at Battersea Power Station, represents the largest office letting in London's wider West End in the last two decades.

Rob Tincknell, CEO of Battersea Power Station Development Company, said: "We are delighted that Apple has chosen to make Battersea Power Station its home in 2021.

"It is testament to our fantastic building and the wider regeneration of the 42-acre site which offers a carefully curated mix of homes, businesses and leisure amidst extraordinary open spaces and new transport links. It has always been our clear objective to create one of London's most thriving new communities and this commitment from Apple will undoubtedly help us achieve our goal."
