Meta (UK)
Meta runs no owned data centre in the UK, serving British users from its European facilities and from leased capacity, while concentrating its owned hyperscale campuses in the US and a few European countries. Its UK relevance is as a major source of leased demand and as a barometer of where global AI capital is heading. Any UK footprint is leased rather than owned, so treat its local capacity as indicative demand rather than built megawatts.
