the last part of what some would call an ugly 60 year old power station but what next? are they going to try and get rid of the Battersea towers

It's a real shame. When I saw those towers it meant I was just over half an hour from home.

They can't touch Battersea power station as it's a listed building. It's also my favourite 'landmark' in London. It has been said though that at least one of the towers are starting to crumble, so i'm not sure what they will do there The last I heard, they were going to turn it into a massive shopping center... will it happen??? Every project that has been thought about by Battersea Power Stations former owners has been jinxed, will it be different this time?

I have just read all the articles for the towers. It's a big shame... another part of our countries past is turned to a big pile of rubble. I do like old buildings, especially looking into how they were built.

 

Such a shame

They shouldn't have done it. It. They were part of the industrial past, and like it or not a local landmark.
