London is our global headquarters and is home to more than 2,500 of our designers, engineers, digital experts and technical advisors, bringing together all our key disciplines to solve our clients’ most complex challenges. 

London is the location of many of our most ground-breaking projects including the redevelopment of King’s Cross and London 2012. We continue to shape the city through buildings and infrastructure projects across transport, energy, and water. Our people share knowledge globally and deliver locally, with a deep understanding of London and the people living and working here. We work closely with the Greater London Authority, local boroughs and communities, developers and investors to harness the most valuable opportunities for the city and collaborate in creating a better future.
