U.K. to Trigger Brexit March 29, Starting Two Years of Talks

Google was planned before the referendum.

Dyson is pro-brexit and has had a problem with having enough office space for a while (so probably unrelated to timing of referendum but making noise because it supports his position).

Apple are the only one who are new in that list, and it may just be a consolidation of existing office space.

AFAIK that's largely it; I don't know how much of this is expansion, but it's certainly mostly about getting their 1400 employees in/around London in a single space (with all the simplification of security, etc. that entails). It's worth pointing out that AFAIK the majority of those employees ultimately come from other companies that Apple has acquired over the years, hence the disparate offices.
