Google Campus in London is shutting down. It was the heart of the Old Street startup scene for a long time. My first fulltime job was working for a startup based there back in 2012 https://t.co/RJKHFCoaxW

It would have been an utterly dead space without the hard work of @TechHub + @evarley & team, which had the co-working contract inside Google Campus. https://t.co/mw7ZrSHXJZ

Pouring one out today for Campus London, which won’t be re-opening as the team focus virtually. Hard to sum up something so special to me in tweets but it was an incredible privilege to be deeply involved with this trailblazing space for years & to lead it for four

Interesting spin- “a new chapter” = closure of important startup space https://t.co/Kon4o7Rh5f

For a long time, it felt like the space London deserved; somewhere genuinely open, that tried to be inclusive & neutral, where different people united by a shared belief in entrepreneurship could come together. The broadest of churches from deep program cohorts to huge events

I shall miss the place & know the old team feels the same. Sarah puts it better than I ever could here: https://t.co/KE0sEg4hHP.

Thank you @GoogleUK & so long Campus, it was a privilege.
...and I still have no clue why we had an *actual* skeleton in our closet on L5.

Sad to see Google Campus shut down - I worked in the building next to it for years and we regularly popped down to the Campus cafe for coffee and random snacks via the shared courtyard. https://t.co/yxdNwoeX0i #startups #fintech
