Sleeping Giant

Giles Gilbert Scott’s majestic construction is standing proud once again. Since its decommissioning nearly 30 years ago, Battersea Power Station has almost had as many failed rebirth attempts as a cat has lives. This time though, might just be the one! Whichever way things turn out, take advantage of the opportunity to get close to the monolithic legend with the elegant lines while you can; for free! (Chelsea Fringe at Battersea Power Station, till Sunday 26 May).

I was just in London last weekend for work. Wish I had known about the Chelsea Fringe – would have been really interesting to visit the Battersea Power Station!
What a shame! In the last 7 years, I’ve only been able to get close a handful of times and inside the buildings only once. When (and if) they actually complete the development work planned on the site, it will be wonderful! The little temporary park at the front where I took the shot is fantastic!
Maybe I’ll get to visit in the next few years when the revitalisation / development work around the site is completed! I recently learned that there are several interesting abandoned/ unused historical buildings and monuments around Belgium, so am sure that there will be things to occupy me meanwhile : )
