Huge shopping centre this this converted power station. Lots of designers and some food outlets. Lots of walking. Possible to reserve a wheelchair if you have mobility problems. Very clean. On the riverside entrance it, there was a huge outdoor screen showing Wimbledon, complete with free deckchairs, Simms bus and Strawberry & cream van. Very popular on this sunny day. Took an Uber boat from the docks outside.

This is arguably the best shopping centre in the country for clothing. The redevelopment is a joy to walk around. Super clean and very well run. The thought that has been put into the halls and the integration of historic equipment and fittings is to be commended. I generally don’t like shopping centres but this was a superb attraction to walk around. Do enter from the river entrance to get the full experience.

Battersea Power Station is one of the best places in London right now. The whole area has been done so well — a great mix of restaurants, bars, shops, and open space, all set inside an iconic building. There’s loads of choice when it comes to food and drink, whether you’re after something quick or a proper sit-down meal. Plenty of good spots for a drink too, with a really nice atmosphere, especially in the evenings. It’s also just a great place to walk around and spend a few hours. The riverside setting is a big plus, and the whole place feels clean, modern, and well thought out without losing its character. Perfect for a day out, date night, or just meeting friends. Definitely worth a visit if you haven’t been already.

I was genuinely impressed by how Battersea Power Station has been transformed from a historic industrial landmark into such a vibrant and useful destination. The redevelopment has been done beautifully, preserving the character of the building while creating a fantastic space filled with shops, restaurants, and public areas to enjoy. The Lift 109 experience offers great views and is worth doing, but visitors should be aware that there isn’t any walking around at the top. The elevator takes everyone up, you spend around 10 minutes enjoying the panoramic views, and then return back down. It’s still an interesting experience, but it may be different from what some people expect. Overall, a remarkable example of how a historic building can be given a new life. Definitely worth visiting whether you’re interested in architecture, history, shopping, or simply exploring one of London’s most impressive redevelopments.

What an interesting visit… there’s loads to do as a family or with friends and repurposing the power station as a tourist and residential destination is a great way to utilise such an iconic London landmark. Parking was easy (£10 for 4hrs) which we didn’t find excessive. Today there was a buzzing atmosphere and the Sunday street food market on the river walk was great to check out. We loved the deck chairs set out on the green spaces in front of the power station… on a beautiful day like today it was fab to see so many people sat around just chilling and enjoying the sunshine. Theres a selection of shops, bars and restaurants to please everyone so it makes for a wonderful day out. The art installations are pretty cool too and interesting to read about. We didn’t try the chimney experience but would definitely go back and try that another time. All in all, a lovely day out! Highly recommended!!
