Battersea Power Station Development Company Review

A very powerful presence and it is changing fast, new eating places, living spaces and Wright Bros for Seafood as good as Leigh on Sea

The Battersea Power Station is the perfect example of how the English are one of the best nations in the world at doing business out of nothing. Taking a ruin, calling it National Heritage, then rebuilding it into something even more grandiose. If you haven t seen it before, I do recommend you to come and see it now, as there s a podium where you can oversee the site and part of the power station being refurbished.

Arriving in London for the first time I found this building the most recognisable for me. It is an extroadinary structure. It's equally beautiful and ugly; powerful and useless. It's a wonderful modernist sculputre which accompanies the Tate Modern down the river and provides contrasting relief from the neo gothic and neo classic monsters on the north bank. Buildings of the people rather than the gentry.I hope they develop it tastefully.

Under construction, large site. Nice river shuttle ride to London Bridge

Power Station itself is a national icon. Recent residential development detracts from this piece of history and in some instances obscures it all together! Shame! On the upside new and independent shops and restaurants are springing up which is good for the area in general

This section of London is going to be amazing once the regeneration is complete. Lots of great places opening already. Feels like an open secret as there aren't very many people who know it's already open

We went to take photos of this historic powerhouse ...
In November 2017 the works were on the end, so they did not spoil the view too much.
We got there from Victoria station, in 3 bus stops.
We then left using the river shuttle which has had a dedicated stop for this place for a few months, I believe. A swipe of the Oyster card and paf, direction London center.

Was once a power station now a prison for the rich. They deserve to live there. I have no sympathy.

Get there bang on time leave as much driving time as you can

I want to go alone for the cover animals of pink floyd :) would be great

I love it here!!! Great atmosphere, lots of restaurants and close to the park. Would highly recommend.

Big man
Pig man
Haha, charade you are

A beautiful symbolic building in the heart of London, Battersea Power Station is now becoming a cultural and commercial hub in London.

What a lovely place to be this goin to be a big gem in london

The old building off the Pink Floyd album is now pretty well hidden underneath a never-ending building site. Other than that it's one of the most boring places in London. Some soulless restaurants and bars, some shops that don't really sell anything interesting, some half-hearted events a few times a year that aren't worth visiting. On the plus side, the thames clipper stop is quite handy.

The largest brick building in Eruropa houses an old power plant. And now it is an icon of modernity.

Mythical factory with reference to Pink Floyd's Animal album

The decommissioned power station is a striking building and makes the visit worthwhile by itself. With the new development in the area, there are always new shops popping up. Looking forward to trying the new ramen place next week!

The Power of Summer

The setting was glorious, a grassy area beside the looming towers of the power station. There was grown up Jenga, trampolines and plenty of space for lounging about in the late afternoon sun. As with all Street Feast venues the choice of food was vast - Peruvian street food, smoked ribs, pizza and Caribbean were all on offer. I went for a change to my usual and had an incredible Dog from Dog Town (@DogTownLondon) - the special, with spicy onions and a mango, pineapple chilli salsa. The sausage was smoked to perfection and had that perfect snap when you took a bite. My flatmate went for an old favourite of mine - Le Bun (@LeBunUK), those guys know how much I love them! She did make somewhat of an alternative choice and go for the veggie option (she would be the first to tell you of the look of dismay in my eyes when this decision was made!) but it was fantastic a chunky slab of goats cheese between lashings of slaw and sauce in between the perfectly toasted brioche bun. I also bought some delicious spiced chips from Flip & Dip because who can resist fresh chips!! We sat in the shadows of the chimneys for what seems like hours, watching the world go by. The perfect night some would say.

I have omitted to tell you there is also a cinema down by the river. Everyman are showing classics down there all summer there are usually two films on a day! Make sure you check out the website for all their listings, I ve already got a few booked!! The Power of Summer is a one time thing sadly and only open until the end of August so make sure you get down there before the fun is over. It ll be the last time you can get near that brilliant power station before it s redeveloped, which is naturally why I m going to get down there as frequently as possible!!

Nine Elms has been undergoing a massive transformation for the past five years, and is improving bit by bit all the time. The power station itself has been entirely revamped with the new Circus West village area. When events are on such as the recent Seafood Fest, there are food stalls, restaurants, ping pong, choir performances, cinema screenings and many other forms of entertainment which are great for young children on family days out.

A new enterance to the area has recently opened up on the main road leading up to Vauxhall, this has made it less crowded around the original enterance by Battersea Park at Chelsea Bridge. For locals in the area or for those who sign up online, there are tours for exploring inside the power station itself which is currently still undergoing construction after the four old chimneys were replaced. The building itself is something of a cultural icon, being the inspiration for fashion and art for years and is well worth a visit for passing tourists and travellers seeking a bit of history alike. Because there are so many changes being made, it's attracting a diverse range of people and creating lots of new jobs in the area which is very beneficial.

One of the most famous landmarks in London and finally going under a well-deserved regeneration; people keep complaining they can't see it from the train and I will just give them an advice; next time get off the train in Battersea Park Station and come over; you will almost be able to touch it.

They wouldn t let me eat my pudding before I ate my meat

A small place in South side of the Tames. There is a brewery which produce the Battersea beer. There are many kinds for all tastes. There is a platform on the Tames which form an artificial terrace. There, you can chill, drink and relax

Neighborhood undergoing renovation, for fans of Pink Flyod, see the cover of the Animales album.

A developing hub. Not yet anywhere near completed, so only a small number of facilities here to choose from. Apartment s are nice though.

Beautiful area with a great selection of bars and a lovely view to the river

Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a pat on the back
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone

The global launch with the exhibition is impressive. The power station is totally stunning!

One of the most beautiful and iconic buildings in London.

Supreme <3 it hurts that now it is in the works, but it transmits a lot of rock vibes

went to see the installations they temporarily had on display and was impressed by the new plans for battersea. it'll be much better when they complete the underground station though as it was a chore to get there

Concrete City. Soulless high rise expensive flats, far too much concrete around here. Lots of non Londoners buying these apartments and everyone looks utterly miserable. Long dual carriageway makes walking around here feel a little like a USA downtown area built for cars. The area has no character, rows and columns of sparkly new flats, Tesco Metro's and lost turns as you search for the river. My idea of upwardly inner city hell with joggers, 4x4s ' multi coloured concrete buildings and building sites.

Looks like a huge development of luxury apartments.
Going to look fantastic.

Lovely places, nice to have a look on London developing

Great architecturally exciting industrial monument. Too bad that it is now being commercialized.

An extraordinary place famous for the cover of Pink Floyd is coming back to life among bars, restaurants and luxury houses on the banks of the Thames to visit

It s opening up a nice area with a some good restaurants and bars.

More than an excellent place to explore and be creative with a camera, thoroughly enjoyed watching the wildlife whilst behind is the regeneration of the old power station. stunning contrast of dynamics. Great food to be had in the restaurants and some cool bars tucked away, the sunday market whilst not huge is worth a visit for hand made products not available on tyhe high street . Great day out.

One of London's favorite visuals, and perhaps most famous. Although the area is now a bit abandoned.

Brilliant place to enjoy a coffee and see the land marks of London

Still under construction , am sure it will be good when finished

I don't live here , shop , deliver fresh meat to one shopping stores very nice need I say anymore staff very friendly

At the time of this comment, there were 999 comments - This marks the 1000th.

Completely rejuvenated with an excellent selection of bars, restaurants and shops. The river boat service now runs from outside and local buses serve the site from Sloane Square and Victoria.

Well worth a visit!

1 star, got turned into a Cyberman here. Would not recommend.

What a place. Great flats and apartments, shopping centre coming. Excellent location

Ugliest building in London why it wasn't demolished god knows a blot on the landscape along with Tate Modern

First thing I thought about, as I'm pretty sure a lot of other people do.. Pink Floyd..

Wouldn't recommend going here until they finish building (when ever that will be).

It was very surreal, like straight out of a black mirror episode. Loved it.

Important and historic site in London in front of the Thames's River and Battersea Park. Now it's a bigger and modern area of residences and restaurants. Here you have a new station of River bus. They organize festival and markets on weekends.

The place has been modified, it now has cafes, restaurants and plazas , loved it

I came here from Dirt 3 and it gets 5 stars great place to practice driving technique

lots of new resteraunts around the area. Worth a visit.

It's a building site. Might be nice when it's finished. A few interesting stalls outside on and near the old loading wharf.

Mythical Factory of the Pink Floyd Animals Pouch. In full rehabilitation in 2016, chimneys may disappear. Large housing complex and planned trade.
