Inside London’s newest street

Opening 50 shops in what is arguably the most difficult time in retail is a big call but at King’s Cross the team at Argent will open an entirely different high street tomorrow.

Coal Drops Yard is the latest development to open at the regeneration of King’s Cross, N1.

The Thomas Heatherwick-designed scheme provides a host of independent retailers with flexible space.

At the launch of London’s newest street, Heatherwick said the space had been designed to promote human interaction, with shopping the excuse.
