Google new office @ London (Trendiest office in the world?)

Google needs its engineers to come up with brilliant ideas. The search giant’s London headquarters in Victoria covers three floors

Meeting rooms feature strange angular sofas, the corridors look like the inside of the starship Enterprise and the workers can play pool and video games during their breaks.

When Google set about creating it, they started with a completely blank canvas.

All the walls were knocked through and the furniture taken away.

Ideas are obviously a key part of working for Google, and there’s never a shortage of space to write them down – some of the walls in the corridors are made up of huge white boards.

To help keep the engineers’ brains fully fuelled, meanwhile, there's plenty of food and liquid refreshment on offer.

There is a 'coffee lab' serving 19 different blends and four free restaurants - including a tapas and sushi bar.

Paying is never a distraction either, because it's all free.

There’s also a gym, sound-proofed music room with drums and guitars and a games room with a pool table, video consoles and a giant Samsung TV.

The Google office even features its own version of the Big Brother garden complete with deck chairs, carpet that resembles grass and a rowing boat.
