Something I am really, really excited about is the major regeneration project of the Battersea Power Station and its surrounding area. It is a major redevelopment which is eagerly anticipated by many and, once completed, will become one of the most celebrated and visited destinations in the city of London.
The Battersea Power Station was opened in the 1930's and today, it is one of the most recognised works of architecture in the world. Although, it is currently derelict and in bad condition, the beautiful art deco interior features will be preserved and restored throughout the project. It is a landmark loved by many and the £8bn resoration is due to start in October 2013. It is expected to take approximately 10 years to complete and generate over 26,000 jobs.
There will be over 800 residential units including studios, apartments and penthouses. The new site will also include office space, shops, hospitality and entertainment venues, and there is planning permission for a new Battersea tube station to be built as part of the Northern Line.
