Battersea Power Station, Regenerated

This is a travel article about London – specifically, the redevelopment of the iconic Battersea Power Station. This travel article content is for Private Air Magazine, for whom we are a regular travel content provider, and it begins like this…

“For decades, Battersea Power Station has stood as an icon on the banks of the Thames. The four-chimney behemoth was built as a coal-fired power station in two segments; the original structure was completed in 1933, with a further two chimneys erected 20 years later. Since being fully decommissioned in 1983, the Grade II-listed structure has been at the center of many stalled regeneration attempts. These have included notions to incorporate the power station’s shell into a theme park, an urban park, and a football ground.

Now finally, 30 years on from its closure, Battersea Power Station is being given a new lease of life, as it is regenerated into luxury apartments, boutique shops, and public amenities. Work has already commenced, with the apartments available this year – and set to be some of most exclusive new real estate in London.”
