The south end of Marco polo House, built in 1987. Currently home to TV shopping channel QVC, the building faces possible demolition to enable the site to be redeveloped. In the background are two of the towers of Battersea Power Station, which closed in 1983. The Power Station has itself been the subject of several attempts to redevelop it, although the iconic chimneys would remain.
