Grade II* Listed Building - Former electricity generating station. Built in 2 principal phases: 1929-35 and 1937-41, completed 1955. Built by the London Power Company to the design of Leonard Pearce, Engineer in Chief to the LPC, CS Allott & Son Engineers: the architects were J Theo Halliday and Sir Giles Gilbert Scott.
Ironically iconic due to use in the cover art of Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals.
The station is the largest brick building in Europe and is notable for its original, lavish Art Deco interior fittings and decor.
Since closure there has been much interest in redevolpment within the confines of the structure, so far to no vail due to the economiic climate and restrictions on devlopment. The property is currently up for sale and included in the offers is a bid from Chelsea Football Club for a new football stadium.
