The social media website, Twitter, has been looking at London office space according to news reports.

The Sunday Telegraph reported yesterday that executives from the San Francisco-based company were in London looking at potential locations for their new European Headquarters.

The West End and Old Street roundabout, commonly known as the Silicon Roundabout because of the community of tech firms nearby, have been talked up as the locations of most interest to Twitter bosses.

A spokesperson for the company told the Telegraph, “There were a few of us in London this week. We are considering London and other European locations to create an initial and small presence in 2011.”

The microblogging serviced has experienced phenomenal growth since it was launched in 2006 by founders Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams and Biz Stone.
