Whatever it is that keeps you hooked on the world's largest social network—which now boasts a staggering 1.55 billion monthly users—it's the result of hundreds of hours of research, testing, and development by Facebook.

Over the past couple of years, Facebook has followed in the footsteps of Google and began branching out from its core social network offering, coming up with everything from open-source hardware data centres to connecting the entire world to the Internet via laser-backhaul drones flying at 60,000 feet. The company has branched out so much from its core offering, that it's even worried employees might be getting a bit lost.

Enter the Facebook pop-up at London's Bedford Square Garden, a huge conservatory that's packed with everything the company is working on: servers, Internet.org, AI, Oculus VR, and more. It's one giant blue temple of far-out tech devoted to the rapidly growing Zuckerberg empire. While the pop-up isn't open to the general public, press were given a quick look-in before it's turned over to invited guests from the tech community and employees that haven't had a chance to check it out while it was in the US.

So join me on a journey around the Facebook pop-up, where everything is blue and will "change the world." Here you can admire the skills of a computer being able to identify a small plastic elephant. And don't worry, while I did don an Oculus to check out the beautiful and heartwarming short cartoon Henry, I won't bore you with yet another set of VR demo impressions. After all, I wouldn't want you to get bored before you've even had a chance to try it for yourself.
