Reviews of Gasholder Park

V. N.

It is not a big park but such a beautiful historical place. The regeneration done so much good to this place. The architectural work here is absolutely amazing and so well thought out!

O. L.

Nice green circle with lots of places to sit and relax. Quite place.

T. L.

Smaller than I expected but is very clean and well maintained. Has a serene environment to it and has a lot of seating available. Fairly close to Coal Drop Yard and the stations so it's worth the visit if you're close by.

V. Y.

Beautiful park. Small but cute, amazing on a summers day. I definitely wouldn’t want to go there if you want a quiet time- families with screaming children tend to ruin the atmosphere.

S. P.

Beautiful and quaint place close to Kings Cross station. It's not exactly a park but a beautified gasholder with a grass mound in the middle and mirrors creatively placed along the perimeter. Seating space is available along the perimeter as well. The canal with the small boats and the St.Pancras lock nearby add that charm to this place. The surrounding gasholders have apartments built within and they blend in pretty well! It's a peaceful place away from the busy station nearby. The Camley Street natural park is closed for some modernisation and the Google office is a short walk from here.

T. T.

A small and tidy round green space situated by St Pancras Basin and among some apartment buildings. A great place to put on a little show.

J. G.

Very good and chilled area to be either alone or with friends. Since one can enjoy a nice meal on several eating places around here

K. W.

A wonderful adaptation of Victorian industrial structure in a modern residential development. By Bell Phillips Architects.

M. S. K.

We attend a play session here at the weekend for kids and it is pretty fun and a nice small safe spot for you to come and sit down and get some sun! On a regular day it is also a nice space to relax at.

M. T.

Beautiful place. Go there with coffee/tea and read book. Calm and quiet place to chill

E. W.

Great location to relax and watch the works go by! By the canal and within walking distance to Camden Market

A. R.

Nice place to walk around, shops and Regent's Canal very close.

D. H.

Such a great use of a once industrial wasteland, a lovely slightly secluded spot great for chilling by the canal and watching trains pass by on the bridge. Can get very busy in summer with all sorts of people from families, local residents, couples, people on their lunch breaks etc. but the atmosphere is great (although sometimes a little too noisy) and there is plenty of grass space and benches. This park and the surrounding paths and planted areas are a great spot for getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life which is in full force down around the station.

S. C.

Interesting architectural development of the old gas holders into apartments with a smart, mirrored, installation of one of the holders.

B. d. B.

It is a nice place to go for a walk with friends and family

K.

Very nice spot in less busy area of King's Cross development. Offer space for dogs to run and seats around.

P. H.

Very nice secluded yet open space, with lots of seating.

B. S.

Lovely revamped canalside area. So much cleaner and safer these days. Lovely to walk and ride through. Neighbouring shops, restaurants and bars make for a great atmosphere. A mix of residents, building work, tourists, students and security guards are found nearby at most times. Lovely on a sunny day. Great mirrored area with interesting reflections.

A. B.

Really nice space and is even better know that the gas holder buildings are no longer under construction. Nice little patch of grass in the middle, however, beware I have seen people fail to pick up their dog's poop from it. Perhaps the park could do with a sign about that and a bag dispenser. There are excellent benches and good litter facilities and many places to sit. Unfortunately the designer of the ring roof didn't consider rain properly so water builds up and drains through rather random holes around the pathway, but at least there always seems to be a dry bit of bench.

P. T.

Beautiful and peaceful spot by a canal

J. M.

Was a nice surprise hidden next to kings cross. In summer is probably even more beautiful and has more people, but even though if you like to know better the city of London this is a plus. We can also go along regent's canal path till Camden Town.

M. H.

Interesting development of a huge industrial structure into apartments with canal views!

D. A.

Lovely garden fire sitting watching the boats and the trains and the ducks and people go by. Exciting new architecture. Plenty of local for shops and restaurants. Tonnes going on nearby and with the canal nearby it's hard to fault this place.

A. “.

It is a beautiful purpose built park surrounded by mordern architecture and a canal blending into a historic terraced building converted into shops and loads of places ro eat and drink. The people there are friendly.

G. M.

Fantastic installation and lovely little greenspace by the canal.

L. A.

Lovely little park with loads of seating. The salsa dancing class was a fun diversion to watch.

P.

Clean tidy area good walk along the canal tow path

R. C.

Wound full site well worth a visit

A. J.

Clever. Very clever. Modern city centre living around old gasometers. Views over The Regent's Canal and railway line out of St Pancras. Plenty of eating and shopping nearby. I'm sure the whole caboodle is worth a pretty penny or two.

C. B.

Lovely quiet place on the weekend which was surprising. Lots of room to sit or for kids to run around if you have them, it’s interesting to just walk around looking at the mirror, the view to lock is also lovely.

M. D.

Nice place next to the canal. Great new architecture in the gas holder buildings surrounding the park. Good spot to catch some rays on a sunny day

V. D.

Great location for photographers. Try working with reflections. Also ideal to experiment with night photography. Try and combine canal, rail, water, and architecture in your images. Brilliant for some corporate portraits or headshots.

A. N.

Scenes, industrial feel with modern London lifestyle twist filled with expression from people using facilities. Great for picture moments, peaceful walks and gathering your thoughts.

N. K.

Nice but Camden Council have not ensured that a percentage of the development is for social housing. Against the law? Probably. Nice Park and a lovely private development.

S. M.

Wonderful architecture. The reflective pillars are great. Nice place to have a funky photoshoot.

P. T.

Fantastic place to escape the city for a bit of tranquility

D. F.

Developing into a really nice area, 5min from King's Cross. Lovely to walk around various restaurants / eating places. And there is the canal lock as well

C. C.

It's amazing how the area has been transformed. Plenty of green open space, with lots of access to and across the canal. A great mix of somewhere to live & enjoy visiting.

M. K.

Lovely place, so unusually serene!

U. L.

Great spot for anyone with disability access needs to easily take photos of many subjects. Wide step-free pathways. The park overlooks the Regents Canal, St Pancras Lock narrow boat moorings, the Eurostar and old Victorian water tower. Toilet and Café facilities at nearby Granary Square. There’s some striking views from the new Somers Town footbridge across the canal towards King’s Cross and Camley Street nature park. Not forgetting the aquatic wildlife of swans, ducks, coots…

i.

Looks like both architects and investors were audacious enough to realize our dreams by turning "derelict gigantic pieces of rust" into "state of the art living spaces" open to the public.Game changers by all means,they wrote a page of London's architecture history book ...right by the canal...jealousy...envy...when you get me...

L. G.

Nice park along the canal. Great place to relax or exercise with a pretty view

S. S.

Wouldn't call it a park but green space, too little trees, no benches to sit on but interesting design with reflected light in mirrors at work (only in summer fully enjoyable), wheelchair access

G. J.

Excellent gentrification of what was a frightful area back in the day. Gasometers redesigned as flats with surrounding gardens. Adjacent to the canal, new shopping/ foodie centre and St Pancras.

S. C.

It an impressive little park and structure in the city of London. People hand out, have open air lunch or bike through.

R. M.

A lovely park close to Coals Drop Yard and the canal. Ingenious use of the guts of am old gasometer.

A. B.

(Translated) An example of really wonderful urban redevelopment. The buildings that replace the gas tanks are very interesting. Here is the headquarters of Google offices. (Original) Un esempio di riqualificazione urbana davvero stupendo. I fabbricati che sostituiscono i serbatoi del gas sono interessantissimi. Qui si trova la sede degli uffici Google.

(Translated) Amazingly beautiful installation! Hall of a thousand mirrors ... Just an unfinished building. It’s easier to arrange an attraction than to make out)) I immediately remembered Sinéad O'Connor - 1000 Mirrors. (Original) Удивительно красивая инсталляция! Зал тысячи зеркал... Просто не достроенное здание. Проще устроить аттракцион, чем разобрать)) Сразу вспомнилась Sinéad O'Connor - 1000 Mirrors.

(Translated) It's a very different place. We walked along the river. There were some inhabited boats docked by the river. The boats were dressed up as farewells. The boats docked on the river full of green floating plants. It was so beautiful! Check the relevant information from Gang Road below "Gasholders London" is the latest example of architectural preservation in London. WilkinsonEyre and Jonathan Tuckey Design are responsible for the main architectural design. Arup provides structural and facade design services. The floor area of the whole project is about 14,000 square meters and contains 145 residential units. It is one of the winning works of the 2018 RIBA London Award. The predecessor of "Gasholders London" was a natural gas storage tank for the development of London. It was built in the Victorian era (1867) and has undergone many transformations, including today, 150 years later. Because its natural gas storage task is no longer available, Argent (Kings Cross) Ltd, one of the main developers in King's Cross area, commissioned a design team to give these three industrial products that have been included in the historic building (Grade II) new life, continuing in the form of residences Past memories. The architectural design connects three circular frames in series, and creates a fourth circle in the center. This is an open atrium space that not only introduces natural light, but also shows the beauty of the powerful lines of the heavy industry era. In addition, the architects used different volume heights in the design to imply the traces left by time on this historical building. Each newly-built residence is also equipped with a daylighting atrium to introduce sufficient natural light for the residential units and cooperate with the circular corridor. Create a classic space experience like the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Residential units are built following these Victorian natural gas storage tank frames. How to effectively coexist with existing frames is a major challenge in design and construction. Arup structural experts first conduct safety assessments of existing structures and propose preservation strategies. The separation of the old and the new is mainly self-supporting, in order to reduce the intrusion and complexity of the historical buildings. Since the residential units are embedded in the existing frame, the window type and position of the building facade must take into account the limitations of these external frames to ensure the efficiency of indoor ventilation and lighting. Therefore, considering the efficiency and quality of implementation, the team decided to adopt the vertical Designed in a unitized manner, the sun visors and balconies are assembled with the facade units, cleverly integrated into the embrace of the old age. Another feature of the façade is the electric external sunshade up to 4 meters. Each unit consists of four metal sun visors. The system is independently controlled by the residents to avoid the influence of excessive solar radiant heat on indoor comfort. Arup facade engineers targeted This electric external shading system has undergone detailed tests to ensure its safety in strong wind conditions and smooth operation in curved tracks. In addition to the three natural gas storage tanks being transformed into residences, the fourth storage tank frame next door was reborn in the form of a park, called "Gasholder Park." The frame of the naked standing circular storage tank encloses a central green space, like a Quidditch stadium-like structure, matched with foggy London, this historical structure with 150 years of memory, so naturally it is reborn as a novel scene. (Original) 是個很恃別的地方，我們沿着河边走，河边停靠一些有人居住小船，小船装扮恃別，小船停靠在長满綠色漂浮植物的河上，好美！ 從綱路上查詢有關資料於下 「Gasholders London」是倫敦最新完成的建築保存範例，由WilkinsonEyre 與Jonathan Tuckey Design負責主要建築設計，Arup提供結構及立面設計服務，全案樓地板面積約14,000平方公尺，包含145座住宅單元，是2018年RIBA London Award獲獎作品之一。 「Gasholders London」前身是供給倫敦發展所需的天然氣儲存槽，建於維多利亞時代（1867年），歷經多次改造，包含150年後的今天。因為其天然氣儲存任務不再，King’s Cross地區主要開發者之一Argent (Kings Cross) Ltd委託設計團隊，賦予這三座已被納入歷史建築（Grade II）的工業產物新生命，以住宅的形式延續過往的記憶。 建築設計串聯三座圓形框架，並在其中心創造第四個圓形，這是個開放式的中庭空間，除了引入自然光之外，更藉此展示重工業時代充滿力量的線條美感。此外，建築師在設計上以不同的量體高度暗示時間在這件歷史建築上所遺留的痕跡，每一座新建住宅同樣個別安插採光中庭，為住宅單元引入充足的自然光，配合環狀廊道，創造猶如紐約古根漢美術館般經典的空間體驗。 住宅單元依循這些維多利亞時代的天然氣儲存槽框架而建，如何有效地與既有框架共存是設計與施工上的一大挑戰，Arup結構專家首先針對既有構造進行安全評估並提出保存策略，主要採新舊分離的自我支撐為主，以降低對歷史建築的侵擾與施作的複雜性。由於住宅單元鑲嵌在既有框架之中，建築立面的開窗型式與位置勢必得考量這些外部框架的限制，以確保室內的通風採光效益，因此，考量施作效益與品質，團隊決議採用立面單元化的方式進行設計，預鑄遮陽板與陽台隨著立面單元組裝，巧妙地融入舊時代的懷抱。 立面上另一項特點是高達4公尺的電動外遮陽，每一單元由四片金屬遮陽板組成，系統由住戶獨立操控，避免過量太陽輻射熱對室內舒適度的影響，Arup立面工程師針對這項電動外遮陽系統進行詳細的測試，確保它在強風環境下的安全性以及曲面軌道中的順暢運作。 除了這三座天然氣儲存槽被改造為住宅之外，緊鄰的第四座儲存槽框架則轉以公園的形式重生，稱為「Gasholder Park」。赤裸站立的圓形儲存槽框架圍塑出一塊中心綠地，猶如魁地奇球場般的構造形式，搭配多霧的倫敦，這座擁有150年記憶的歷史構造物，如此理所當然地以小說場景重生。
