Coal Drops Yard

Coal Drops Yard reopened in 2018 as King’s Cross’ newest shopping district and public space. Its triumphant reinvention is largely down to the vision of one design studio and their skilful use of steel systems from Schüco Jansen.

The heart of the project centred on the refurbishment of the interiors of the two buildings themselves; these have been rescued from semi-dereliction and transformed into a vibrant mix of more than 60 retail units of varying sizes. The shops are situated in the series of arches that run the length of each building.
