Seen in Battersea Power Station
1929 Works begin on site. Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, one of the most prominent architects of the day, who was responsible for Britain’s red telephone boxes, joins the project. Original proposals were for the chimneys to be square rather than circular.
From the 1930s to 1980s, Battersea Power Station was a working Power Station. At its peak, it was producing a fifth of London’s power, supplying electricity to some of London’s most recognisable landmarks, such as the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace.
Now this legendary London landmark and surrounding area has been brought back to life as one of the most exciting and innovative mixed use neighbourhoods in the world – a place for locals, tourists and residents to enjoy a unique blend of shops, bars, restaurants, entertainment venues, parks and historical spaces. A place to shop, eat, drink, live, work and play; here life doesn’t feel ordinary, it feels extraordinary.
Happy Saturday for Stairs!

Last week I had to make a quick dash to London. I got in a train, got to Victoria, picked up what I needed and was back on a train home within 20 minutes of arriving. These 3 photos where all taken while on the train - hence a few reflections etc from the window.
This one is of the old Battersea power station.
Great that Flickr's back up and running.

Entered into BuckinghamCamera Club's POTY2019 Round 4 (Open):
Judge's comments : Great place. Sweeping lines. Light trails leading into the blue and towards the power station. Light pollution dealt with ok. Sky could be slightly darker. Lots to see here. Held back.
Judge's score : 19/20
The Victoria train lines leading up to a beautifully lit Battersea power station. The compressed perspective makes them look very close, the river Thames actually divides them.
This is a shot I have had my eye on for a long time now.
I have seen a few offerings and I hope my interpretation brings something fresh to the table.

Another shot of Battersea Power Station taken on my trip to London last month.
This old power station always makes a great subject for a photo, but I think it does look best at night when it's all lit up.
One day I may have a venture over and take a walk around the place and see what I can get. I think once the development is all finished it'll look strange not having a load of cranes around it.
The regeneration of Battersea power station with all the lit cranes always makes for a striking scene especially at blue hour

count the bricks - 6 million were used for the construction of the power station in the 1930s/40s and for the redevelopment project an additional 1.5 million new bricks have been made, by the same company that made the original ones.
On Friday evening after leaving The Shard we took a walk up to Battersea Power Station. I'd previously shot this from Ebury Bridge and those of you who have followed me for a while would have seen that shot. But I wanted a different view so headed to Grosvenor Road to get a shot from the riverside.
When we arrived I saw that it was lit up green, and after doing a quick Google search we found out that it was lit up all of last week to raise awareness of the NSPCC's Christmas Appeal - ‘Light For Every Childhood’, which seeks to shine a light on children experiencing neglect at Christmas and all year round.
The Decommissioned power station is now being redeveloped, The £9bn project will see the creation of a vibrant new destination for London, housing a community of homes, shops, cafes, offices, leisure and cultural venues, with over 19 acres of public space. For those interested more information can be found here.
