Battersea Power Station spent decades in decay following its closure in the 1980s, and the enormous site has fallen victim to many unsuccessful restoration attempts over the years.
The site was initially approved to be transformed into an indoor theme park in a project thought up by developer David Roche and Alton Towers owner John Broome, but by 1989 work was halted as costs soared.
From there, the site was acquired by numerous development companies, with plans to develop the station into housing, a museum, leisure complex and more — but all plans fell through.
