Universal Music will be moving its headquarters to new premises at King’s Cross in London.
The music business, which is currently based in Kensington, has signed a new long-term lease for Four Pancras Square.
More than 1,000 employees will move offices as part of the new deal, which will be complete in summer 2017.
David Joseph, chairman and CEO of Universal Music UK, said: ‘Kings Cross is fast emerging as a creative hub for London.
‘It’s going to be an energising place to work and feels like a natural home for Universal Music with many opportunities for collaboration and inspiration literally on our doorstep.’
Universal Music, whose labels include Island, Polydor, Virgin EMIand Decca, is home to successful artists from across the musical spectrum including James Bay, Florence + The Machine, Ellie Goulding, Mumford & Sons, The Rolling Stones, Sam Smith, Take That and U2.
The new move will set the company become neighbours with Google, Louis Vutton and PRS for Music.
