Why is Google office in London so lame?

Question

I've met a friend that works for Google in London, that has also worked in Mountain View and Zurich offices as an intern

The Google office in London has NOTHING to do with the offices in Mountain View, CA and Zurich, Switzerland...

The work culture in London office is not as college-like, fun and friendly as in the above offices....there aren't as many games and stuff either...

Even the dress code is different, most of the employees are dressed business casual...

That's so lame for Google....

Answer 1

The office's culture is dictated by the local management.  I'm guessing the management there is also lame.
