Sky view through the gas holders
Wandered round Coals Drop Yard* which opens officially tomorrow. Bring your Amex Platinum card! Beautiful select cool modern designer shops, cafés, restaurants.
And we envied the apartments in the Gas Holders. Apparently a one bed starts at £1.5M.

This blip is taken in the adjacent circular open space, which is within the frame of a gas holder. We are looking up to the SKY, though the small openings in the mirrored underside of the circular frame above us. If you are clever, you can spot me and friend reflected in the mirror.
“Coal Drops Yard is the latest addition to the expansive and ongoing redevelopment of buildings and pedestrian spaces surrounding the train stations of King's Cross and St Pancras. Heatherwick Studio has refurbished a pair of Victorian sheds on the edge of the canal site that were once used for the storage and distribution of coal around London by horse and cart. Heatherwick describes them as "a funny pair of buildings with lots of idiosyncrasies." The two were derelict, standing almost parallel "like skis" or "two broken KitKat fingers," he says. The developer had wanted a bridge of some kind between them”
