Battersea Power Station

Battersea Power Station is a large, iconic coal-fired power plant in London, built between the 1930s and 1950s. Known for its distinctive four-tower design with huge chimneys, it was once one of the largest and most efficient power stations in the UK, generating electricity for the city. After decommissioning in the 1980s, the building became a prominent landmark and has been undergoing redevelopment into a mixed-use area featuring homes, offices, shops, and cultural spaces. Its impressive Romanesque architecture and historical significance make it a symbol of London's industrial heritage.
