The Coal Drops Yard “a place where art, commerce and culture come together” opened its doors in November 2018. Although a new place for shopping, eating & drinking and art, this area certainly doesn’t lack history; it is merely “the latest chapter in the colourful history of these unusual buildings”.
In fact, the Coal Drops Yard has evolved with its London population. Indeed, up until the 1800s, the yard was used to transport goods into London by water quays and sea. Fast-forward to the 80s, it became the scene for Raves – a nightclub. Today, it’s home to 60 small retail units consisting of both independent and established global brands and is designed to attract the London millennial and Gen Z.
