Google UK offices via Google Street View etc.

|

Many CyberPunk Tourists to London will pass through or near to Victoria Station via mainline railway, underground Tube, Bus or Coach etc.

Just opposite the south western side of the Victoria Station complex is the London office of Google UK, so it is interesting that you can see its location via Google Street View etc., which now offers even a "3D" viewing effect - one step closer to immersive cyberpunk augmented reality

Google UK Ltd
Belgrave House
76 Buckingham Palace Road
London SW1W 9TQ
United Kingdom
Phone: +44 (0)20-7031-3000
Fax: +44 (0)20-7031-3001

Google London@51.495238,-0.146663

These Latitude and Longitude coordinates imply that the Google Office are in the north west of the part of the Belgrave House office block.

Technically, the western side of the Buckingham Palace Road is the edge of Belgravia, rather than the Victoria district of of London.
