Battersea Power Station in London was designed by J. Theo Halliday, with Sir Giles Gilbert Scott consulted later on the exterior and Leonard Pearce leading the engineering, for the London Power Company. The infobox says construction of the A station began in 1929 and the B station in 1945. The text says B was built from 1937 to 1941, paused during the war and completed in 1955.
The article describes a brick-cathedral power station design with Art Deco interiors. It has a steel frame with brick cladding. Its four concrete chimneys are 338 feet (103 m) tall.
The A station closed in 1975 and the B station in 1983. A Malaysian consortium bought the site in 2012, and the main building opened to the public in October 2022. It now has shops, restaurants, offices and homes. The article gives no hours.
