Battersea Power Station will be the centrepiece of a new ‘15-minute’ live, work and play neighbourhood, which will act as a new hub for the local and wider communities, a new business quarter for the capital and a retail and leisure destination for Londoners and international visitors. Once open, the Power Station will be home to 254 residential apartments, over 100 retail shops, restaurants and cafés, including a 24,000 sq ft Arcade Food Hall from JKS Restaurants which will open in 2023, office and event spaces, plus Lift 109, a unique glass elevator elevator which transports visitors 109m to the top of the building’s north west chimney, offering stunning 360 degree views of the London skyline.
Circus West Village, the first completed chapter in the regeneration of Battersea Power Station, is already home to over 1,800 residents and more than 20 bars, restaurants, cafés, fitness and leisure offerings.
With the Northern Line extended to give this new riverside neighbourhood its very own Zone 1 London Underground station, Battersea Power Station is now within 15 minutes of the West End and the City and is expected to draw visitors from across the capital and the globe, becoming one of London’s most visited destinations, boosting the local economy and creating over 17,000 jobs.
