National Grid cooling station, John Williams Close
One of 14 surface cooling station buildings at 1-mile intervals serving the National Grid underground cable tunnel between Bexley Image and Wimbledon. To allow these cables to carry more current, there are cooling pipes adjacent to the cables, carrying water pumped from these cooling stations. The shafts, tunnels and cooling stations were originally constructed in the 1960’s and are the route for the main 275kV cables supplying South London. They were refurbished in 2005.
