Event Details
You asked, we listened! We’re thrilled to bring you the Behind the Bricks: The Official Guided Tour at Battersea Power Station, a tour of one of London’s most iconic landmarks.
Taking place once a week, you will get the chance to learn all about the Power Station’s fascinating history and enjoy exclusive access to the beautifully restored Art Deco masterpiece, Control Room A. Control Room A is the first of the Grade II* listed building’s two original Control Rooms which managed the distribution of electricity across London from the early 1930s.
From the 1930s to 1980s, Battersea Power Station was a working Power Station. At its peak, the Power Station was supplying 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. After decades of sitting derelict, it is now open to the public as one of London's most exciting and innovative new riverside destinations. Discover more about the Power Station’s heritage here.
Why not make a day of it and book tickets to the chimney lift experience at Lift 109, enjoy a cocktail or two surrounded by the original 1950s dials and control desks in Control Room B, a bite to eat at one of our many cafes and restaurants or enjoy a spot of shopping?
