Food delivery firm Deliveroo has moved into a new global headquarters in London in 2017 as part of its transition from being a small startup into a more serious corporation. That evolution continued this week after it announced a $575 million funding round led by Amazon.

The 55,000 square foot office on Cannon Street in the City of London - a part of the city jammed with banks and law firms - was home to around 600 Deliveroo employees when it opened.
