Decommissioned power station in south London reopens as glitzy shopping, living and leisure complex
Among the thousands of people who rushed into the building after the grand opening of the newly developed Battersea power station were Orla Sanders and Imogen Clark, friends in their 30s who live a stone’s throw from the new complex.
“We’ve been waiting for the day for the centre’s opening, the countdown has really been on,” Sanders said. “It’s incredible and all the shops are amazing, but it’s also quite dangerous because we may well end up spending quite a lot of money”.
