Rathbone Square, a mixed-use development in the heart of the UK capital, is playing a pivotal role in the transformation of the eastern end of Oxford Street — and will also house Facebook’s new London headquarters.
Anyone who has travelled along London’s Oxford Street from Marble Arch eastwards in the direction of Tottenham Court Road tube station and beyond will have noticed that once you get past Oxford Circus into Fitzrovia, everything starts to look, well, a little bit grimy. Thanks to large-scale development in the area, this is quickly changing.
Along with the boom in surrounding construction following the route of the city’s new Crossrail link, there is now Rathbone Square W1, a mixed-use development owned by central London property investment and development specialist, Great Portland Estates. This landmark project totals 416,000 sq-ft and includes 142 private residences and 242,800 sq-ft of offices — which have been let to social network giant Facebook as its new London headquarters.
