A photo from last weekends grand opening of the Wilkinson Eyre designed Battersea Power Station redevelopment.
Having watched it being redeveloped for years it was great to finally explore inside the iconic building, after which I stuck around (twice) for the spectacular Arcadia ‘Lords of Lightning’ performance in the evening.

From Wikipedia, "Works were completed and the power station was due to open on 14 October 2022, with 254 flats, restaurants, bars, offices and shops. The 42-acre site also contains distinctive apartment blocks designed by US architect Frank Gehry and a large structure designed by Foster + Partners. The first residents had moved in in May 2021.
It was criticised as "a playground for the super rich", with very expensive housing and luxury shops; at the time the project was approved policy required 50% of new housing to be "affordable". Wandsworth council accepted a plan with 15%, but ultimately 9% was built on the site."
