Coal Drops Yard, Shopping and dining destination in King's Cross, England
The Coal Drops Yard features two restored Victorian buildings connected by a contemporary curved steel and glass roof structure spanning both structures.
The site originated in 1851 as a distribution center where trains would transfer coal to horse-drawn carts for delivery across nineteenth-century London.
The redevelopment project transformed industrial buildings into a retail complex while maintaining original features such as cast iron columns and brick arches.
The location sits within a five-minute walk from King's Cross and St Pancras stations, with direct connections to six Underground lines and national rail services.
Thomas Heatherwick's design joins two parallel buildings by lifting and stretching their rooflines until they meet in the middle, creating an unusual intersection.
