Originally built in the 1850s to facilitate the distribution of coal from the north-east and Yorkshire to London, Coal Drops Yard is reinvented in 2018 as a fashionable shopping district in King's Cross with over 50 stores, cafes and restaurants. Victorian brick arches and surviving ironwork are purposed in a design by Heatherwick Studio that brings together the industrial heritage with contemporary design. With canal-side location and proximity to restaurants, cafes and Central St Martins, Coal Drops Yard is an attractive place to shop. Brands and retailers include fashion concept store 18Montrose, modern British eyewear company Cubitts and boutique bag designers Lost Property of London as well as shoe designer Tracey Neuls, Sara Reverberi and Alia Qadir's concept store Studio One Twenty, Morty & Bob's cafe and high end activewear brand The Sports Edit. Before the development officially opened, in March 2018, designer Tom Dixon moved his entire headquarters to the Coal Office, part of the wider Coal Drops Yard estate.
