Anthropic held Code with Claude London, its first dedicated developer gathering in Europe, with events across the U.K. Most of the leadership team traveled to support the rollout of new Claude Agents capabilities. The updates include sandboxes that allow companies to run agents on their own infrastructure and “MCP tunnels” that enable agents to reach internal systems without touching the public internet. The event also reflects London’s growing centrality in the AI ecosystem, with major AI labs expanding local presence. Attendance was heavily oversubscribed, drawing enterprise customers, startups, and Claude enthusiasts. Startup engineers reported using Claude Code daily, while enterprise adoption varied due to uncertainty about what to automate.
"The company used the event to roll out new features for its Claude Agents, including sandboxes that let companies run agents on their own infrastructure, and 'MCP tunnels' that let those agents reach internal systems without touching the public internet. In short, new ways for companies to have more control and more security-a possible attempt to calm C-suite nerves about ungoverned AI."
"The London event, Anthropic's first dedicated developer gathering in Europe, underscores how central the city has become to the AI ecosystem, with the city gaining even more prominence in recent months. Heavyweights including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Jeff Bezos's AI lab, Project Prometheus, have all announced plans to build out a substantial presence in the city."
"Anthropic's Claude event was heavily oversubscribed, with a mix of enterprise customers, startup workers, and Claude enthusiasts pouring into the riverside venue despite the rain. Engineers at startups told me they were using Claude Code and similar tools on a daily basis."
"Enterprise customers were more complicated. While some were embracing the technology headfirst, others say the rollout has been slower. There's still some uncertainty about what to automate"
