Battersea Power Station & Lift 109






Battersea Power Station is a grade 2 listed decommissioned coal fired power station on the south bank of the River Thames. The first part of the station was built in 1930s with the second in the 1950s. It was decommissioned between 1975 and 1983. 

Plans for the building included an idea as a theme park and even as a new stadium for Chelsea F.C. The site now has 254 apartments and a shopping centre. 



Lift 109 is situated in the north-west chimney and visitors ascend to the top of the 109 metre structure to get 360° views of the area.
