The building designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, is an ex coal- fired power station incorporating two separate power stations in one bulk.
The power station is placed in Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest in England - it is also one of the biggest buildings made of brick in europe - unfortunately we were not able to visit the interior and can only rely on peoples opinion but they say it has a very extravagant art deco design.
That very picturesque building appeared as a background in few art projects,used by The Beatles and Pink Floyd band.
It's a pretty magnificent structure!

ReplyDeleteHi Gringo: I do feel much the same way - although I have been here only for few years - and still have to explore someny places out there in London- just incredible.

I agree - it is so old but still so amzing as for an industrial structure.
