Almost forty years after closing, the power station opened to the public on 14th October 2022 having been reincarnated as flats, offices and shopping destination. This was formerly Turbine Hall B, less interesting than A (Image]). At the back is one of several rusty old gantries which have been preserved. Ultimately it's just a high-end indoor shopping centre, but it has been done quite well - the vastness of the interior space still comes through - particularly compared to the catastrophically bad development which has unfurled east along Nine Elms Lane to Vauxhall.
