Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned Grade II* (Since 2007) listed coal-fired power station, located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Nine Elms, Battersea, in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It was built by the London Power Company (LPC) to the design of Leonard Pearce, Engineer in Chief to the LPC, and CS Allott & Son Engineers. The architects were J. Theo Halliday and Giles Gilbert Scott. The station is one of the world's largest brick buildings and notable for its original, Art Deco interior fittings and decor.
The building comprises two power stations, built in two stages, in a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built between 1929 and 1935 and Battersea B Power Station, to its east, between 1937 and 1941, when construction was paused owing to the worsening effects of the Second World War. The building was completed in 1955. "Battersea B" was built to a design nearly identical to that of "Battersea A", creating the iconic four-chimney structure.
"Battersea A" was decommissioned in 1975. In 1980 the whole structure was given Grade II listed status; "Battersea B" closed three years later. The building remained empty until 2014, during which time it fell into near ruin. The building's renovation was completed nearly forty years after it closed and opened to the public on Friday 14 October 2022, to visit the iconic building and the first tranche of shops, bars, restaurants and leisure venues.

Antrim House, just off Lavender Hill, is a curious attempt to bridge the gap left by a WWII bomb with a block of two layers of two-storey flats, sitting on top of a doctor's surgery. It rather stands out as the only block of flats in the area.
I quite like the way Antrim House fits five floors into the space the neighbouring (small) remaining piece of the Victorian terrace uses for three and a bit floors. Despite the significantly different scale, the houses to the right are part of the same development as Antrim House.

Many outside London don't realise that you need a beer passport when drinking in London beyond your postcode area - though some people seemingly get away without ever getting one.
The example here is stamped for the Falcon and also for the Four Thieves, both in Batersea, SW11.

Posted to Guess Where London on 25-03-21.
For simplicity of stats, I am assigning this to Battersea, Wandsworth SW11, south of the river, where the building is, not to the Chelsea location where I shot this from.

A really tasty burger. (View of the inside and chips on the side.) From Patty and Bun, a mobile food cart which was at the Doodle Bar in Battersea when I tried it.
