Battersea Power Station today announces a further wave of retail brands set to open their doors in the iconic Grade II* listed building. Opening to the public next year, the Power Station will form the centrepiece of a new ’15-minute live, work and play neighbourhood’, which will act as a town centre for the immediate and wider local communities, a new business quarter for the capital and an experiential destination for Londoners, domestic and international visitors.
The announcement follows the recent news that the Zone 1 Battersea Power Station Underground Station, which brings the development within 15 minutes of the West End and the City, has opened as part of the Northern Line Extension – a true game-changer for the area.
Another significant milestone reached earlier this year was welcoming the Power Station’s first ever residents following the completion of Switch House West, the first major element of the building to complete. The rest of the restored building will be completing in stages throughout the year, with residents moving into the Boiler House and Switch House East in the coming months.
The latest British and international retail brands planning to set up shop at Battersea Power Station include:
· Iconic American fashion designer, Ralph Lauren
· Global lifestyle brand, Calvin Klein
· Internationally renowned, Tommy Hilfiger
· Contemporary French fashion brand, The Kooples
· Iconic eyewear brand, Ray-Ban
· French natural skincare and beauty brand, L’Occitane
· American Swedish premium clothing label, Gant
· Naturally inspired and ethical British cosmetics icon, The Body Shop
· French ready-to-wear apparel brand, Lacoste
· Australian skin, hair and body care brand, Aēsop
· Spanish fashion retailer, Mango
· Contemporary global fashion brand, Reiss
· Luxury personalised perfume and candle creators, Le Labo

These newly announced brands will join a strong line-up of retailers already set to open their doors at Battersea Power Station next year, including Hugo Boss, MAC Cosmetics, Space NK, Watches of Switzerland, Jo Malone, boxing gym, BXR and The Cinema at The Power Station, a new cinema and private members club, with sister sites including The Cinema at Selfridges and The Cinema in The Arches located in Circus West Village, the first chapter of the Battersea Power Station development.
A c. 25,000 sq. ft Food Hall offering an all-day dining experience will also be opening in the Boiler House at the heart of the Power Station. More details on this and further dining concepts coming to this exciting new food and drink destination for London will follow shortly.
After a successful pop-up during the summer of 2020, high-tech, feature rich e-bike brand, VanMoof, recently opened a permanent store in Circus West Village to showcase its range of bikes, the X3 and S3. Kova will also be opening this Autumn in a standalone store next to the Power Station, offering fine Japanese/French patisseries and teas.
Following these latest signings 82% of the commercial space at Battersea Power Station is now let, with more than 70% of the retail and leisure space either exchanged or under offer.
Sam Cotton, Head of Leasing at Battersea Power Station Development Company, said:
“We are undoubtedly experiencing the most exciting year yet in the transformation of Battersea Power Station. We recently welcomed our first residents into their homes in the Grade II* listed icon, Battersea Power Station’s Zone 1 Underground station opened last week and our retailer and office occupiers will begin fitting out their spaces in the coming months ahead of the Power Station opening its doors to the public next year.
“Battersea Power Station is well on its way to becoming one of the most prominent new neighbourhoods in the world and to have this endorsed by such an impressive collection of British and international brands is testament to the continued appeal of this unique project.”
