Battersea Power Station

London, England

Mike's review

Visited 2026

A huge adaptive-reuse win: the old Battersea Power Station from the Pink Floyd Animals cover is now somewhere you can buy basically anything. It is surreal in the best way, this giant industrial landmark turned into a polished shopping and food district. I usually come for the LEGO Store, which is one of the less crowded London ones compared with the central tourist crush.

From the source

Restored Grade II* riverside power station and Pink Floyd Animals-cover landmark, now one of London's biggest adaptive-reuse shopping, dining, leisure, and office districts. Visit for the brick-cathedral architecture, riverfront, shops, restaurants, LEGO Store, and the paid Lift 109 chimney viewpoint.
