These sites will host some of Europe ’ s largest NVIDIA AI platform deployments powered by NVIDIA H200 GPUs and scaled with NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking , seeking to meaningfully advance the UK ’ s high-performance compute capability .

These are CoreWeave ’ s first operational deployments in the UK and form part of its initial £ 1 billion investment into the country last year . CoreWeave also announced London as its European Headquarters in 2024 , as well as announcing a further £ 750m investment into the UK at the International Investment Summit in October .

The first data centre utilising NVIDIA H200 GPUs went live in October 2024 in Crawley with CoreWeave partner Digital Realty , whilst the second operational data centre went live in December 2024 in London Docklands , with partner Global Switch .

Consistent with CoreWeave ’ s commitment to sustainability , the Crawley and London Docklands data centre campuses are powered entirely by renewable energy . said : “ This investment is a huge vote of confidence in the UK ’ s digital technology sector and is exactly the kind we want to see as we grow the economy and use AI to drive efficiency . We are delivering our Plan for Change with investment and reform to deliver higher living standards across every part of the country .”

Mike Mattacola , Chief Business Officer at CoreWeave , said : “ Our first operational data centres in the United Kingdom are a significant milestone for the company , which builds on the investment we announced last year . The UK is an important market for CoreWeave , with our European headquarters here and further operational plans for the country . We are pleased to be partnering with Digital Realty and Global Switch to deliver the next generation of AI infrastructure in the UK .”

Séamus Dunne , Managing Director at Digital Realty in the UK and Ireland , said : “ Digital Realty ’ s partnership with CoreWeave is a major leap for AI infrastructure in Europe . Hosting one of the continent ’ s largest NVIDIA H200 GPU deployments at our Crawley campus empowers companies to scale their AI capabilities , backed by the high-performance , sustainable infrastructure that we deliver .” �

In August 2024 , CoreWeave announced it was the first cloud provider to bring NVIDIA H200 GPUs to its customers – continuing a track record of being first to market . Through these UK sites , CoreWeave will deliver its specialised AI cloud platform in the region , helping to empower customers to shape the next frontier of AI technology .

CoreWeave ’ s infrastructure and cloud services are built from the ground up and hyper-optimised for AI workloads , unlike solutions from traditional cloud providers that were designed for webscale and are encumbered by a legacy technical architecture . By the end of 2024 , CoreWeave opened 28 data centres globally , with an additional 10 new data centres planned in 2025 .
