[LONDON] Facebook opens its new London office on Monday and said it would add 800 more jobs in the capital next year, underlining its commitment to Britain as the country prepares for Brexit.

The social network said more than half of the people working at the site in central London will focus on engineering, making it Facebook's biggest engineering hub outside the United States.

It will also house Facebook's first in-house start-up incubator, called LDN-LAB, designed to help kick start fledgling British digital businesses.

EMEA vice-president Nicola Mendelsohn said Facebook was more committed than ever to the UK and supporting the growth of the country's innovative start-ups.
