Circus Road East, SW11 8BB

Although most of the power station appears in Image this eastern façade is in this grid square. This view was taken looking down Cringle Street, SW8, at its junction with Kirtling Street.

Battersea Power Station actually comprises two power stations, built in two stages in a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built in the 1930s and Battersea B Power Station, to its east, in the 1950s. They were built to a near-identical design, providing the four-chimney structure. The Power Station was decommissioned between 1975 and 1983 and remained empty until 2014. It was designated as a Grade II listed building in 1980. In 2007 its listed status was upgraded to Grade II*. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battersea_Power_Station for a full history. The station is one of the world's largest brick buildings and notable for its original, lavish Art Deco interior fittings and decor. This was the Control Room, now turned into a bar. Much of its former life has been retained. A close up can be seen at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7393603 It is inside the former turbine hall of Battersea B Power Station which was built between 1937 and 1941, when construction was paused owing to the worsening effects of the Second World War. The building was completed in 1955. See also https://batterseapowerstation.co.uk/

The art deco control room of Battersea Power station 'B' side

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.
