Heatherwick Studio?s Coal Drops Yard in King's Cross Set to Open in October
Heatherwick Studio?s Coal Drops Yard in London?s King's Cross is set to open on October 26, 2018. As a new major shopping district in King's Cross, the design brings new life to two heritage rail buildings from the 1850's.

The pair of elongated Victorian coal drops are reimagined as a space for the public to make their own.Â
