Battersea Power Station, London

Battersea Power Station is a disused power station that stands on the south bank of the River Thames in Battersea. Its four distinctive chimneys make it a famous landmark in London.

The station is made up of two individual power stations, A and B. Station A was built in the 1930's and station B was completed in the 1950's. The two stations are identical, resulting in a four chimney layout. The power station is also the largest brick building in Europe and has lavish art deco interior fittings and decor.

The Power station closed in 1983 and has been subject to various owners and failed redevelopment plans. The building is in very poor condition and is currently on the buildings at risk register.
