Visitors are now getting their first look around the new-look Battersea Power Station which, after decades of lying derelict, reopened on Friday as a shopping and leisure complex.
The iconic Grade II* listed building has been rebuilt in its signature style over ten years to become what proponents hope will be a hip location. It features cinemas, bars, restaurants, a theatre, and a glass lift to provide a 109m-high viewing experience across the Thames. It also has a shopping centre and an exhibition space. There is also a residential element with 800 homes of varying size attached.
