Zoopla and Rightmove are clearly not short of cash. The two portal giants last year posted profits between them totalling £169 million and some of it has made its way into their office environments.

Both companies are competing for the best staff of course and, following the launch of Zoopla’s new offices on London’s South Bank, it appears the purple one is making a bid to win this workspace war.

Enable staff to be watched while they’re brainstorming

Remind people where they’re working, with BIG LOGOS

Attract staff who like gardening

Give it a theme, like farming or libraries, or something
