PLP’s £120m office block over Farringdon Crossrail station in the City of London is to become the new UK head office for social media firm TikTok.

The video-sharing app has seen its popularity surge during lockdown with nearly four million users in the UK and this is predicted to rocket to 11 million users by the end of this year.

Its new home, called Kaleidoscope, has been designed by PLP and has 5,500sq m of space running across six floors. A roof deck will provide private outdoor space for company employees.
