October 2024Having seen it crossing Chelsea Bridge for many years this was the first time seeing it up close and it's truly impressive. The developers have done an incredible job of restoring the building sympathetically giving it a new lease of life whilst retaining many features. The whole residential development is pretty impressive. Full of high end retail, many eating places, plenty of nice clean toilets too! We did the guided tour which was good and gave access to a control room which the general public looking around wouldn't get to do. We also did lift 109 which is the glass walled elevator going to the top of one of the chimneys. Fantastic views at the top. For the money we felt that 5 minutes longer in the preliminary area looking at the various info exhibits and 5 minutes longer at the chimney top would have been better value for money. Especially if buying a ticket on the day. Cheaper in advance

September 2024the former power plant looks perfect. the surroundings and the building itself leave you speechless. this is a place for real enjoyment. you can shop, enjoy in tastefully designed shops and space or do sports, eat. there really is something for everyone. this is an excellent example of a perfectly preserved monument of the industrial revolution

September 2024Quite a revelation visiting. I remember the run down horror with the terrible social issues from years ago but now it’s squeaky clean with million pound apartments. Access is simple. They have their own tube station and everything was well sign posted. If you’re visiting I strongly recommend booking the guided tour well ( I mean 6-8 weeks in advance) but the lift109 tickets were still available a couple of days before we planned our visit. Great retail experience. Highly recommend the lift109. The elevator goes up and pops out of one of the 4 iconic chimneys. The retail experience is top class and the food options are excellent. We used the arcade food hall. Which had a very unique set up. You pick a table. Scan the QR code. Then you can chose any meal or drink from any vendor and you order and pay for it via your phone and they bring everything to you. Burgers, drinks, sushi, 🍣 Indian food, whatever. Very cool and loved the experience. - go. Spend the day. You won’t regret it.

August 2024Battersea Power Station is a truly remarkable destination that beautifully blends the old with the new. The iconic architecture, which once powered much of London, has been transformed into a vibrant hub of culture, shopping, and dining, without losing its industrial charm. Walking through the grand halls and outdoor spaces, you're struck by the thoughtful design that preserves the station's history while introducing modern amenities. The shopping experience is diverse, with both high-end and unique boutique stores. The dining options cater to all tastes, from casual bites to fine dining, making it a perfect spot for foodies. One of the highlights is the riverfront, offering stunning views of the Thames, especially at sunset. The newly built residences and office spaces bring life to the area, creating a lively atmosphere both day and night. The only drawback could be the crowds, especially on weekends, but that’s a testament to its popularity. Battersea Power Station is more than just a redeveloped space; it's a celebration of London's past and future. Whether you're a history buff, a shopper, or simply looking for a great day out, this place should be on your list. ---

September 2024Good parking which was £10 for 4 hours ( my chosen amount) and was so worth a visit. I’ve loved this building for many years even when it was derelict so to see it developed is wonderful. Many of the shops and restaurants are dog friendly too which is a bonus for me. Not sure that the shops would make me visit regularly but thoroughly enjoyed my visit.
