A rare look inside Battersea Power Station's control room
Battersea Power Station, built in the 1930s, powered 20 percent of London, including Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament. It continued operation for decades but it was decommissioned between 1975 and 1983 and remained empty until 2014. Today, the station, which is one of the world's largest brick buildings. has been restored, creating a mix of retail, office, residential, and tourism spaces.
