This site is dedicated to a very special building among the fans of the pop group Pink Floyd. Battersea Power Station appeared on the cover of their album Animals (1977). Designed by the famous British architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, with a sumptuous Art Deco control room, Italian marble turbine hall, polished parquet floors, wrought iron staircases and the four characteristic white smokestacks it provided London with electricity between 1937 and 1980.
Today, a shadow of its past, the building awaits its future fate.
