I Visit An Old Power Station That's Now A Luxury Shopping Mall!

It's been 40 years in the process and cost over 9 billion! and finally, open in London, It's crazy that a Shopping mall, Restaurants, Cinema, Apartments, Hotels and so much more is in an Old Power Station in Battersea! It's one of the most iconic industrial buildings in the world, and now it has become a luxury shopping mall. What do you think of it...?

Prices for a Studio Apartment from £860, 000 and the best Penthouse is rumoured to be 14 million. Famous residents include Sting and Bear Grylls. The chimneys are new replicas of the old ones (which were unsafe). My father worked in the original Power Station Control Room as a Trainee in the 1950’s and I worked on the new construction for 4 years, very proud of the finished result.

I love it when towns and cities keep old industrial buildings and revamp them, if not, this is how our History is lost to souless looking new buildings. Ty Tim 🎉

One of my favourite buildings. I used to live in the estate across the bridge. This building inspired my Architectural career.

Went there a few weeks ago. In my opinion it’s an amazing shopping experience but all of the brands inside are high end. You need a lot of money to go shopping. This is either a destination for tourists or to cater for the rich locals of Chelsea, Belgravia and South Ken. If they really want this place to work and survive they need high street brands in there to fully embrace all customers who walk through the doors

This is so cool! Lift 109 was awesome. Being from the states where 99% of our shopping malls are closed or are closing it's so cool to see this reimagined into something so cool.

I worked in the power station late 80s and they still had a contract to provide steam to the apartments and building opposite. A big gas/oil boiler was fitted into one corner of the main building that pumped steam under the river. Its been really interesting to see what's happened in and around it now. thanks for showing us round. 2x👍

Wow Tim... my wife has always loved Battersea Power Station, especially now. We were discussing whether to visit, and I said 'maybe Tim and Gabby will do a review' and you read my mind... you are a national treasure. ❤❤❤

Many years ago, I was dating an American student visiting London, we were passing Battersea Power Station on a train, and being a Pink Floyd fan, she was thrilled to see it. She never knew it was a real building. It was one of the highlights of her visit.

This is so cool! Always admired the Battersea Power Station from a distance, thinking about how it was the cover for Pink Floyd's "Animals" with the flying pig on top! And so cool with the new spaceship like elevator inside one of the chimneys, another reason to go back to London!

Incredible building. I was up there last year and saw the build. Was snowing at the time. Freezing. What amazes me is that most people don’t give a second thought to all the men (mostly) who build these amazing structures. A LOT of hard graft. Up on the top of that turbine tower on scaffolding in icy freezing cold winds. Maximum respect to all the tradesmen and women involved in this project, a true masterpiece 🙌🏼

Thanks for showing... I live 4 miles away and cant be bothered to go myself.

It's lovely to see London get this level of investment! Fingers crossed for the multitude of forgotten places outside the southeast of England

Not mad about shopping centres, but this looks interesting. Glad they have at last made use of the old Battersea power station. Such an iconic building. The chimney lift and viewpoint looked amazing.

[dragonmaddie]

lol, that looks like my own version of a soul less hell. i am glad to see the old building repaired though.

A very good Friday afternoon to you all from Wellington Somerset

Hi Tim and family, it's great to see how the old power station has changed for the better, me my self don't like big shopping centres and having worked around London for years I am glad to be away from there, best wishes to you all for Christmas 🎄.

Love your work - watching is now part of my regular 'retirement activities' - Battersea Power Station is a far cry from when Pink Floyd attached a Pig for their album cover of Animals in 1977, cheers from South Australia

Great Vlog Tim. What an amazing transformation of an iconic building.
