ARCHITECTURE > Battersea Power Station

Where better to build a vast, dynamic, new business and residential area than on the site of Battersea power station, an iconic symbol of British energy and one of the largest brick buildings in the world? With its distinctive four tall white chimneys, the power station was designed in the 1920s by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott–the same man who created Britain's famous red telephone box. It was decommissioned in 1983.
