Battersea Power Station, Grade II* listed building in Nine Elms, London, United Kingdom
The former coal-fired power station features four massive chimneys and a brick structure stretching 160 meters wide along the River Thames.
Architect Giles Gilbert Scott designed this Art Deco industrial building, which supplied one-fifth of London's electricity from 1933 until its closure in 1983.
The power station gained worldwide recognition when Pink Floyd used its image for their 1977 album 'Animals', featuring an inflatable pig floating between the chimneys.
Visitors can access over 150 shops and restaurants from Monday to Saturday between 10 AM and 8 PM, while Sundays operate from noon until 6 PM.
The Lift 109 experience takes visitors up the northwest chimney to a viewing platform at 109 meters, offering views across London.
