Battersea Power Station, SW8, POA From 1930s coal fire to Pink Floyd cover art, Battersea Power Station is a Grade Ii*-listed London icon and its current redevelopment into 539 apartments (across seven buildings) with 400m (1,312ft) of river frontage, retaining the four chimneys and wash towers, is a landmark moment for the area. There are studios up to four-bedroom flats and penthouses and Circus West Village is already thriving, with shops, restaurants, a concert venue, The Battersea General Store, spinning classes at Boom Cycle and office space. Apple has already signed up to base its headquarters there and the new Battersea Power Station Tube stop is set to open in 2020. Apartments in Phase 3, Electric Boulevard, have 997-year leases and benefit from a 24-hour concierge, a bar, a business centre, a screening room, a gym, a pool, a spa and roof gardens; construction is due to be completed in 2020 (www.batterseapowerstation.co.uk).
