Battersea Power Station
Wandsworth Council is securing new homes while a new visitor attraction is planned for Battersea Power Station.
Battersea Power Station is preparing to launch a new 'Chimney Lift Experience', with a proposal submitted for listed building consent in March 2026. This attraction aims to transport visitors back in time, recreating a 1920s or 1930s office setting within Turbine Hall A, displaying blueprints and historical information.
Wandsworth Council secured circa 203 new council homes as part of the next phase of the Battersea Power Station development, announced at a Council meeting in December 2025. These homes, part of the Homes for Wandsworth Programme, are planned for completion in 2029 on Phase 5, fronting the east side of Kirtling Street.
