Battersea Power Station was a decommissioned coal-fired power station located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Battersea, an inner-city district of South West London. It was comprised of two individual power stations, built in two stages in the form of a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built in the 1930s, with Battersea B Power Station to its east in the 1950s. The two stations were built to an identical design, providing the well known four-chimney layout. The station ceased generating electricity in 1983, but over the past 50 years it has become one of the best known landmarks in London and is Grade II* listed The A Station's control room was given many Art Deco fittings by architect Halliday. Italian marble was used in the turbine hall, and polished parquet floors and wrought-iron staircases were used throughout.
The power station and surrounding area has now been regenerated into a new area with shops, residential flats and restaurants. My artwork of the control room was loaned to Battersea Power Station and was exhibited in the Penthouse suites which sit on the roof of B side.
I have been inside twice, once in 2010 with my now husband, sneaking in at midnight and sleeping overnight in the old show room, and then leaving at 6am. I then returned a few years later in 2013 for an official tour whilst volunteering for Open House London, and I was invited to photograph the control room at a later date when they learnt of my artistic interests.
