The Googles of this world only really build their own data centres in the US and maybe, if you're lucky, one or two other places elsewhere.

But generally, everywhere else in the world, and absolutely certainly in London, they're in the same buildings as everyone else ... except they rent entire floors and not just a few racks of course !
