Telehouse Inventory Estate data centre, East India Dock
Telehouse (KDDI)
Telehouse, owned by KDDI, completed its purchase of the Inventory Estate at East India Dock for more than £220m in late October 2026, next to its London Docklands campus. The site carries outline consent, won at appeal in 2023, for a 35,000 sqm data centre. Telehouse says 65MVA of power is secured. No construction date has been announced.
