Battersea Power Station
London · SW8
Summary
London’s iconic decommissioned power station — now a mixed-use development with commercial film hire available across the turbine halls, switch rooms, and roof.
About this location
Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned coal-fired power station on the south bank of the Thames, recognised by its four white chimneys. Built in two phases between 1929 and 1955, the building is Art Deco in character externally — the symmetrical brick facades, the chimneys, and the riverside elevation form one of the most photographed industrial landmarks in Britain. The building re-opened as a mixed-use retail, residential, and arts development from 2022, but substantial areas of the original industrial interior were preserved and are available for commercial use.
The Turbine Halls A and B are the primary production assets: vast single-volume industrial spaces of 103 and 110 metres in length, with original machinery, industrial galleries, and glazed roofing. The Switch House East has been preserved as a heritage space with original 1950s electrical equipment. The roof offers panoramic views over Central London. The development’s Apple campus and residential towers are in the surrounding blocks.
The Battersea Power Station Development Company manages commercial filming enquiries through a dedicated team. The site is extensively production-experienced and the infrastructure — power, loading docks, crew facilities — is at the highest commercial standard. Northern line tube (Battersea Power Station station) gives direct crew access. Rates are premium relative to other warehouse locations, reflecting the site’s profile and central London position.
