News Corp., the media company controlled by billionaire Rupert Murdoch, plans to move all its London businesses into offices built together with the Shard skyscraper on the south bank of the River Thames.

The publisher’s News U.K., Dow Jones and HarperCollins units will move to the Place in the summer of 2014, the New York-based company said in a statement today. News Corp. will lease the entire 17-story building, spokeswoman Ashley Huston said by e-mail.
