YouTube has opened its first Space studio in the UK, offering three studios with state-of-the-art audio and video facilities for the platform’s most successful content creators.
The building is located in Kings Cross, London, and is one of nine Space studios in cities around the world, including Tokyo, Paris, Berlin, New York and Los Angeles.
London’s Space covers 20,000 square feet, making it YouTube’s second biggest creator space after its flagship building in Los Angeles.
Alongside the studio facilities, which includes a green screen, virtual reality technology and live streaming capabilities, it also houses a retail outlet and events space for YouTube superstars.
At the launch Ben McOwen Wilson, head of YouTube Europe, Middle East and Africa, said: ‘There has been an emergence of a generation of people whose success has been defined by their ability to create content on YouTube and both find their own audience and build their own audience.
‘We are absolutely investing in giving our creators a platform that allows them to create genuinely high-quality content,’ he continued.
Marc Joynes, YouTube Space manager, said the studios are designed to ‘supercharge the next generation of YouTubers’ and ‘enhance their skillsets’.
