I Visit An Old Power Station That's Now A Luxury Shopping Mall! 

I explore Harrods 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eT_iXp8FnUw.html

Prices for a Studio Apartment from £860,000 and the best Penthouse is rumoured to be 14 million. Famous residents include Sting and Bear Grylls. The chimneys are new replicas of the old ones (which were unsafe). My father worked in the original Power Station Control Room as a Trainee in the 1950’s and I worked on the new construction for 4 years, very proud of the finished result.

Went there a few weeks ago. In my opinion it’s an amazing shopping experience but all of the brands inside are high end. You need a lot of money to go shopping. This is either a destination for tourists or to cater for the rich locals of Chelsea, Belgravia and South Ken. If they really want this place to work and survive they need high street brands in there to fully embrace all customers who walk through the doors

I love it when towns and cities keep old industrial buildings and revamp them,if not, this is how our History is lost to souless looking new buildings. Ty Tim 🎉

One of my favourite buildings. I used to live in the estate across the bridge. This building inspired my Architectural career.

Many years ago, I was dating an American student visiting London, we were passing Battersea Power Station on a train, and being a Pink Floyd fan, she was thrilled to see it. She never knew it was a real building. It was one of the highlights of her visit.

I worked in the power station late 80s and they still had a contract to provide steam to the apartments and building opposite. A big gas/oil boiler was fitted into one corner of the main building that pumped steam under the river. Its been really interesting to see what's happened in and around it now. thanks for showing us round. 2x👍

Thanks for showing... I live 4 miles away and cant be bothered to go myself.

This is so cool! Lift 109 was awesome. Being from the states where 99% of our shopping malls are closed or are closing it's so cool to see this reimagined into something so cool.

Wow Tim... my wife has always loved Battersea Power Station, especially now. We were discussing whether to visit, and I said 'maybe Tim and Gabby will do a review' and you read my mind... you are a national treasure. ❤❤❤

I m from setia alam, Malaysia. A Big Thank you to DS Najib for his win-win situation businesses n jobs for UK/Malaysia. I love d international architecture, engineers n others for their hardwork to materialize n opportunity for us to view BSPS. Thanks to u n gaby that i can see yr video while i m in Malaysia working.

Flats in the new buildings start around £600,000. The suites at the top of the actual power station are currently going for up to £7,000,000 - that gives you something to aim for :P On the cars, Genesis is the upmarket version of Hyundai. The other one is Polestar which is the electric division of Volvo.

This is so cool! Always admired the Battersea Power Station from a distance, thinking about how it was the cover for Pink Floyd's "Animals" with the flying pig on top! And so cool with the new spaceship like elevator inside one of the chimneys, another reason to go back to London!

Looks awesome! Just booked a ticket for Lift 109 in two weeks' time. Initial standard price was £15.90 which then ramped up to £19.50 as I chose to go mid afternoon. Then they whacked on £1.95 processing fee so it's £21.45 altogether!

It's lovely to see London get this level of investment! Fingers crossed for the multitude of forgotten places outside the southeast of England

Not mad about shopping centres, but this looks interesting. Glad they have at last made use of the old Battersea power station. Such an iconic building. The chimney lift and viewpoint looked amazing.

This building is amazing,

Incredible building. I was up there last year and saw the build. Was snowing at the time. Freezing. What amazes me is that most people don’t give a second thought to all the men (mostly) who build these amazing structures. A LOT of hard graft. Up on the top of that turbine tower on scaffolding in icy freezing cold winds. Maximum respect to all the tradesmen and women involved in this project, a true masterpiece 🙌🏼

Hi Tim and family, it's great to see how the old power station has changed for the better, me my self don't like big shopping centres and having worked around London for years I am glad to be away from there, best wishes to you all for Christmas 🎄.

A very good Friday afternoon to you all from Wellington Somerset

Good vlog. Always interesting getting the everyday visitors view on what’s been done at the power station. A good overview. A couple of observations. You hear a lot about it being converted into a mall. That’s a shame and a misconception, albeit an understandable one. The retail bit is just 3 storeys out of approximately a 15 storey building (the number of the first lift to Lift 109 being the clue). The building also includes residential, a huge new hq office for Apple (opening soon), cinema (which you found), event spaces (for exhibitions, office parties, fashion shows, product launches etc), co-working spaces (like WeWork, but different operator) as well as being one of the largest heritage restoration projects in the Uk ever carried out. The retail is important because it means anyone can enter and see the majority of the restoration and experience the scale of the power station without paying a penny - well unless you’re in the market for a Swiss watch. Personally most of the brands leave me cold, like almost every airport terminal on the planet but destination retail was the only thing that would work here. The Boots etc are on the nearby local high street, which this isn’t competing with. I think this is competing with the Westfields of London really. Anyway given that the power station is Phase 2 of about 10 phases of work, I’d say it’s a good sign that it already has the atmosphere it does. I’ll never live there, but plenty of people do somehow and if it saved the power station I wish it success.

lol, that looks like my own version of a soul less hell. i am glad to see the old building repaired though.

Can’t believe what they’ve done here! Knew Battersea as a child in the 60’s …massive dirty black building in a poor area to be looked at from afar if possible😊. Always an incredible sight in itself though. Wonder what the future holds for this transformed moneyed area now. Excellent video!! 👍

My Father was a boiler engineer at Deptford Power Station (gone now but it was down the river a bit further) and he always said how impressed he was with Battersea Power Station. He was very proud of it. Battersea Power Station has been empty and falling apart for such a long time that it is good to at least see it repaired and put to good use.

I’m so glad they eventually did something positive with this building. I used to pass it on the train for years when it was derelict. I no longer live in London, so it’s great to see it have new life 😊

A fantastic video of An Old Power Station That's Now A Luxury Shopping Mall!❤❤🧡🧡💛💛💚💚

Wow Tim just watched this, Battersea power station looks amazing, the light room and lift looked brilliant, the brews from the top of London were spectacular thanks tor sharing this, see you Sunday. Hope you're all staying warm, x

Looks awesome, this place has been through so many failed projects - its brilliant to see it in this state now! Will definitely go see next time I'm in the UK.

What a contrast! it's amazing what they have done with it, and it's not just shopping. I went there in a group a good number of years ago, when it was derelict, huge and empty, to do some photography. Back then there was another proposal to turn it into luxury housing and an entertainment complex....or something. The only resident in the place then was one little fox. Thanks for bringing us this, Tim and Gaby! Looks incredible!

Great Vlog Tim. What an amazing transformation of an iconic building.

I lived about 6 miles from Battersea power station. Me and my brothers and friends use to play around Battersea. I'm thrilled to see it wosnt torn down. What a beautiful piece of architecturel wonder. I've always luv'd architecture it's all stunning. from UK 🇬🇧👍👍

Thank you so much for sharing, saying stunning doesn't seem strong enough, I feel very privileged to have found your channel, it's never boring, you and Gabby are a great team. 🥰❣

The view from the Power Station chimney tower looks amazing. I am a Londoner and will definitely make an effort to visit this building.

Word has it Gordon Ramsey owns one of the Penthouse’s in the mall - Bear Grylls and Sting amongst other owners….visited a few times myself , to watch this project being built from scratch and see the finished product.😳. Stunning.

I was there this summer, everything was closed and under construction, glad to see it is finally open!

Thank you for showing this piece of history. It's a place I'll never visit so It's great I could "visit" with you and Gabby.

I find Nine Elms (including Vauxhall Tower, Vauxhall Bridge, and Battersea Power Station) amazing places, looking more modern and the views of the tall skyscrapers looking stunning. Might visit the Battersea Power Station whenever me and mum get a chance to go to London one day. Great video! 😀👍

Hello Tim and Gaby,what a brilliant place to see, amazing what they done to it.the effects were really good,and to go 109m up in the lift and look round is awesome.

Wow that view from the lift in the chimney! Amazing! Great video Tim!

A sensitive and tasteful adaptive reuse of Battersea Power Station. I would love to visit someday in the near future on a possible honeymoon world tour.

Hi Tim if you are interested in a London retreat, 3 bedroom apartments in Boiler House Square, the glass places right at the top with the roof garden, start at £7,000,000. You can get cheaper apartments with views of the railway for £750.000. Merry Christmas

Very flash Tim, amazing experience that lift to the top,quite spacey...awesome tour thanks 😃

Looks amazing, worth a visit.

Very interesting walk 🙂👍I like the views from the Old Chimneys . This place worth the visit !

Wow! This sounds absolutely amazing Tim! I'm so looking forward to this!🤩

When I lived in London it was one of my most favourite places to visit and sketch at night. I worked for Jack Barclay's in Berkeley Square and our used car garage was in Battersea. I took a lot of trade ins over there in my day .

I'm really impressed. Looks fantastic. The whole transformation is nice. It's amazing.

Ohhh I'm so glad to see this video on your channel. I'm planning on taking my son for a stroll around here during the summer holidays. We always have at least one day trip to London & so this year this is the place. Thank you for sharing this x

Great video Tim, will pop up next week and have a look around.

I went to there in late November, its really amazing to see what they've done to it after all these years.

in the 1970's our family would drive from swindon/cotswolds trough London to Slade Green and I remember the dirt on the buildings B.P.Station was just a dark brown mess, the Houses of parliament was dark brown, I remember the power station being boarded up and dark and dirty but now what a transformation ! great video just next time give Gabby the company credit card xx

As well as the incredible engineering achievement to build the original power station the transformation is just as impressive.

I enjoyed that. That was awesome. Never been before but looks cool

Great tour. Loved the lift. Great idea. And that view looks awesome.

YES TIM! LOVE IT! I remember when Newsround reported that it would be a theme park owned by Alton Towers. Finally its something. haha

Hi Tim and Family that was an excellent video and i really enjoyed the part where you took the lift up one of the chimneys and got views of London.The Shopping mall did look amazing.

Wow, looks amazing.

just a few corrections the power station apartments you mentioned are phase 1 and called circus village west and opened in 2016, the actual power station apartments are inside the actual power station and 1 bed costs £1.2 million :)

Love it. Awesome tour. Thank you. 👍👍😊😊❤️❤️🎄🎄

Great Vid Tim really interesting who would thought years later they would have turned the power station into a shopping centre and viewing attraction

I get what you were saying about no Boots or River Island but I noticed Primark at the far end.

Red Dwarf filmed there and, of course, Toot Sweets. We all remember those musical toots with the flavour of fruit.

Thank you Tim and Gaby for making this video..:) I personally wouldnt go up into the lift I was feeling dizzy just watching the video...Here in Perth we have a shopping centre similar and they have cars inside the mall...its nice tho they have not demolished the power station and have turned it into what they have and kept some of the old in there...adds character I think..anyway Merry Christmas and the very best for the coming year...:)

Tim absolutely loved this! Battersea Power Station has big big memories for me. Absolutely fabulous great to see you and Gaby fabulous as always. Keep them coming. 🎉 Looking forward to Xmas eve.

Good day weather wise, thanks for the overview, it’s a great location!

Wow! This video was brilliant! I didn’t know they had done that. I’m off to London next year and even I hate heights, I’m gonna book the lift. Plus my 12year old will love it. I will probably do some window shopping and can’t wait to smell it 🤣🤭

I’ve seen quite a few of these videos reviewing BP Station. It was interesting to hear you and Gabby’s perspective, which was somewhat different to some of the others I have watched and listened to. That’s the fascinating thing about the BP Station development, so many people view it with a different perspective.

A very informative and concise snapshot of the Battersea project. Thankyou very much Tim.

At least security let you film without incident. Thanks for sharing this icon in London. Will be sure to visit when back in the UK. Freedom to film without incident. 10/10

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing with us. ❤❤Ohio USA watching

Good job Tim. I had no idea they had done such an amazing transformation.

As you said in the walk-round: INSANE! 👍

No, as it is located in Battersea London England, it is a "Shopping Centre" Shopping "Malls" are located in The United States of America.

Thanks Tim and Gabby and baby great live and interesting Yvonne 😊

I would think that this completely re-vamped Battersea Power Station into a huge shopping centre is one of the (world's) most stunning buildings! It's completely and utterly a marvel of transformation from a run down eyesore to what it has now become. It's great to see some of the old electricity producing components amalgamated with the latest in modern designs of the building. The elevator into one of the chimneys is mind blowing, and the other new buildings in the vicinity of the power station are startling. I watched a short video of London in 1933 on RU-vid after watching this one, and it showed the power station under construction, with just two of the station's chimneys completed. Anyhow, many thanks for producing this film, it's an excellent presentation.

Nice one Tim them chimneys are brand new Tim they took the olds down they were going to knock the lot down at one point good job they saved it 🙂🇬🇧✌️

WOW JUST LOVED THIS 😍 ❤️ ♥️ 💕

Wow, just Wow !!. Thank you xx

Great video. The only vlog I've seen on this mall. thanks for sharing.

It was a very good travel blog today when you visited the Battersea power station shopping centre and chilling out around the shops aswell tim and gaby / Casper aswell

What a view, that looks fun, and then to do some shopping perfect,

I'm an east coast lad, only been to London once, went to the Barbican for my boys presentation, I think I would like to have a ride in the lift, but like you two aint got the money for those shops, and twenty eight quid for fish&chip, I ll stick to brids, cheers guys nice walk around, and a healthy happy christmas

Thank you Tim , that was amazing. I like the way you keep your channel fresh and don’t get stale with your content. I may never go there but it has given me a taste of what to expect. You as usual did a brilliant job, well done.

Looked great. Chimney lift magical. Loved that Starbucks was the most normal, non-expensive location for you both. Down to earth T and G.

Looks great and will be on my visit list next time I'm down there Thank you for the vid 👍

Such a splendidly English tour. I felt like sipping tea.

For me the most iconic use of Battersea power station is the cover of Pink Floyds 1977 album Animals.

Looks great. Also looks fairly quiet. Hopefully it turns out to be financially stable.

Waiting for this, see you later Tim,

Thank you for showing us that ....amazing place now, waw

Wow….a beautiful piece of architecture…. ❤❤

You did a very good comprehensive review there , something else to look out for on my next trip down .

Hope they’ve kept the main control room as it was originally, it’s a beautiful bit of history

Thanks for this as I've never been inside, even though I live not that far away. Looks impressive and I love the exposed brickwork. It adds to the design.

thankyou it took awhile to decide to watch but was so impressed with the build quality

What a great video, you covered all the bases and picked up on all the things I would’ve too and like you said, this place had laid dormant for decades, so glad it’s finally been made use of. The chimney ride is an inspired idea, will definitely have to check that out, would’ve been cool if they could’ve done two chimneys. It’s great there’s an such an attraction to that part of town, albeit for the super wealthy, not for for us peasants, hence the lack of a Boots or WH Smith, McDonald’s or Burger King - actually the later two is probably a good thing 😅

13:04 don't think her boss was happy 👀

Thanks for this, we're in London tomorrow. I like feats of engineering and epic views so we're now booked to ride the lift. The collective gasp as it popped out the top really sold it..

another lovely British building

They made it really cool. 🤩
