The building ahead is currently a Securicor depot, something I only discovered online as I did not see any signs or even an entrance. Two of Battersea Power Station's chimneys can be seen on the right. Sandwiched between Nine Elms Lane, the power station and the Thames, Kirtling Street and environs are a bit of a curiosity, a small relic of a bygone age with their resolutely unglamorous industrial buildings and patches of wasteland. The area's resistance to the tide of gentrification may not, however, last for much longer if a £5.5 billion redevelopment plan centred around the power station proceeds. The first hurdle has been jumped - Wandsworth Council granted planning consent in November 2010.
