A new 135,000 sq ft office is set to open in early 2026, as the ByteDance subsidiary expands in Europe amid looming US sell-or-ban deadline

The new 135,000 sq ft office in Barbican, London, is set to open early next year, according to a statement published on TikTok’s website on Monday. The additional jobs will grow its UK workforce to 3,000 this year, the company said.

In addition to its existing 88,500 sq ft Farringdon head office, TikTok’s total UK property investments would amount to around £140 million (US$190 million). The company also claimed its service had contributed £1.6 billion to the UK economy, with some 1.5 million businesses operating on TikTok, supporting 32,000 jobs.
