Neat little trick to remove excess whitespace from an svg. Visit this link and paste the content of your svg and hit ‘Run’, the script will run and add a viewBox attribute which removes the whitespace and a prompt with your new svg will open.

var svg = document.getElementsByTagName("svg")[0];
var bbox = svg.getBBox();
var viewBox = [bbox.x, bbox.y, bbox.width, bbox.height].join(" ");
svg.setAttribute("viewBox", viewBox);
