Googles about to invest a staggering amount of money in building a new UK head office, with the company applying to create an enormous, 11-storey HQ in the renovated Kings Cross area of London.     The buildings multi-levelled, ranging from seven stories high at one end to 11 at the other, with Googles architect claiming the rather bland glass and steel look takes inspiration from the surrounding areas industrial heritage.
