This was going to be a trip to Battersea Park, but I had a smaller amount of time today, and the walk to the park had much more to see than I imagined.
There’s the Power Station.
It used to be a coal-fired power station, and was actually built from two power stations, completed in 1955.
One of them was decommissioned in 1975 and the other in 2007.
It supplied a fifth of London’s power, supplying the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace.
Cool building!
The iconic chimneys — there are four of them.
