Google said to be reviving plan to build London HQ

London

ALPHABET Inc, the parent company of Google, is seeking a construction firm to build its new London headquarters in the King's Cross district after reviving plans for the project, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The technology giant has invited building companies to pitch to construct the project, which was approved in 2013 and later shelved for a more ambitious development, the people said, asking not to be identified because the process is private. Google aims to start building the headquarters before the end of next year, the people said.
