Between the sordid attacks Abdifatah Mohamud, 35, bought the victim food in a manipulative attempt to win her trust, but later forced drugs on her and struck again.
At Inner London Crown Court he was also handed a ten-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order and must sign the Sex Offenders Register for life.
Mohamud, of Bingfield Street, Islington fought the charges, but was convicted by a jury of two counts of rape.
The court heard on October 12, 2022, at around 5.00pm, the victim was at a local park with a group which included Mohamud.
He proceeded to claim he knew the victim, giving her his nickname and began talking to her.
Later, at around 10.00pm, the victim returned to King's Cross railway station and joined the same group from earlier in the day.
She was approached again by Mohamud, who proceeded to coerce her into the toilets, where he raped her.
Following this, Mohamud took the victim for food to manipulate her into believing he meant no harm.
However, he later proceeded to coerce her once again into the toilets, forcing her to take drugs and raping her again.
After the victim began getting upset and becoming vocal, Mohamud left the scene.
The victim was found in the toilets by a cleaner who in turn informed security and a report was made to British Transport Police.
Detective Constable Adrienne Curzon said: “Mohamud is a calculating offender who used coercion and manipulation in order to rape the victim.
“This has been an extremely frightening experience for her and I hope this outcome goes some way to help her move on from the traumatising ordeal she was subjected to.
“We take all reports of sexual offences seriously and I hope this sends a strong message to offenders that we will do everything in our power to ensure that justice is served.”
