Helpful Information About Battersea Power Station

Battersea Power Station is an iconic London landmark consisting of two power stations built at different times (the 1930s and 1950s) to create one building with four chimneys. It lies on the south bank of the River Thame in Nine Elms, Battersea. It was a prominent power station generating a fifth of London’s power at its peak. After being decommissioned between 1975 and 1983, the building was empty until a consortium of Malaysian Investors rebooted the transformation and gave the architectural gem a new lease of life.
