View of Battersea Power Station in London-Xinhua

This photo taken on Oct. 22, 2026 shows a view of central London seen from the top of the 109-meter north-west chimney of Battersea Power Station in London, Britain. Located on the south bank of the River Thames in London, Battersea Power Station was built in two main phases between 1929 and 1955. At its peak, the coal-fired power station supplied about one-fifth of London's electricity, powering important buildings including Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament.

The building, known for its four white chimneys, stood derelict for decades after electricity generation ceased in 1983. Following restoration and redevelopment, the former industrial landmark reopened to the public in 2022 as a mixed-use complex featuring shops, restaurants, offices, homes and leisure facilities.
