Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned coal-fired power station located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Battersea, an inner-city district of South West London. It comprises two individual power stations, built in two stages in the form of a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built in the 1930s, with Battersea B Power Station to its east in the 1950s. The two stations were built to an identical design, providing the well known four-chimney layout. The station ceased generating electricity in 1983, but over the past 50 years it has become one of the best known landmarks in London and is Grade II* listed. Since the station's closure the site has remained largely unused, with numerous failed redevelopment plans from successive site owners. The station is the largest brick building in Europe and is notable for its original, lavish Art Deco interior fittings and decor. The photo was taken in 2014, before major work begin to convert the station into a luxury flat complex. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battersea_Power_Station
