Bishopsgate Goodsyard

In the heart of the City, Bishopsgate was Britain’s first major railway building, a vast and dramatic arched structure once a bustling complex of underground sidings. By 1998 this historic site had been derelict for 30 years, but in just 18 months USM’s interim mixed-use scheme brought it back to vigorous life, creating workshops and studios, cafés, commercial premises, leisure and sporting facilities, swimming pool, gym, corporate entertainment complex - even an underground orchard. 

The site has since closed for the construction of the East London Line.
