A great adventure often starts with a journey. Could moving to one of the world's most iconic cities be the next step of your journey to create great games?
INTERNATIONAL TEAM CREATING GREAT GAMES IN A LEGENDARY CITY
Sharkmob London was founded in 2020 by a small crew determined to bring together passionate developers from around the world and make great games. Today, our team is made up of dozens of different nationalities, all working on an unannounced title. Our project will be an original and wholly owned IP within the parameters of online, multiplayer, and world-building.
Our office is in the heart of the city, between Embankment Square Gardens and the Strand. We’re based in the historic Shell Mex House at 80 Strand, an iconic art deco building with panoramic views of the River Thames. It’s equidistant from several stations for London’s Tube and Rail services and has secure bike storage in the basement. From our central location, it’s easy to explore the city’s rich mosaic of communities, cultures, and interests.

AN EPICENTER OF GAME DEVELOPMENT
As the United Kingdom’s capital, London is a hub for many different industries, and that includes video game development. The city is home to countless game developers and studios, as well as the official trade body for the UK games and interactive entertainment industry (UKIE). London also hosts major gaming events like The London Games Festival, BAFTA Games Awards, and WASD. And it’s a quick train ride from Brighton, the seaside city that hosts the annual Develop Conference. The game development scene in London has long been influential in video games, not only in the UK but the world. We’re excited that Sharkmob is a part of that!
