Industrial land in London keeps finding its second act as data center real estate, and the former Honey Monster factory site is the latest brownfield to make the jump from consumer manufacturing to compute infrastructure, according to Datacenter Dynamics. CyrusOne’s interest fits a pattern that’s been running for years across the UK capital: legacy industrial parcels with existing power connections and rail or road access get repurposed faster and cheaper than greenfield builds, especially in a market where grid capacity around London is scarce and contested.

What’s missing from the reporting so far — capacity in MW, capital committed, expected energization date — matters more than the novelty of the address. Site announcements without power figures are increasingly just marketing beats in a market where the real constraint is substation capacity, not square footage.
