Flashback to 1933. That was the year when Battersea Power Station, located in south-west London on the south bank of the River Thames, began operations and went on to supply up to a fifth of the city’s electricity<\/strong>. These included Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Westminster. This performance was due to its size and equipment: more than 180,000 m2 of surface area and four large chimneys. After many years in operation, the industrial building, the centrepiece of Pink Floyd’s 1977 album Animals, closed its doors in 1983. For three decades, the power station was disused and abandoned. Until 2012…<\/p>\n

A shopping centre worthy of the big supermarkets<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

12 years ago, Malaysian investors<\/strong> took over the site with the ambition of breathing new life into it. On 14 October 2022, after an investment of \u20ac10.4 billion, the project was finally completed and inaugurated. The former power station was transformed into a huge shopping centre.<\/strong> The site is intended to be a hybrid mix of shops, restaurants, offices and living spaces.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Shops<\/strong> include the iconic Uniqlo, Nike, Levi’s, Mango, Calvin Klein, Adidas, Lacoste, Zara and Ralph Lauren. A number of high-end showcases have also set up shop, including Cartier, Rolex, Mulberry, Hugo Boss, Chanel, Rituals, Aesop and Jo Malone London. Beauty, decoration, fashion, sport, watchmaking… every segment is represented.<\/p>\n
