Battersea Power Station has confirmed it will open its doors to the public for the first time from Friday 14 October 2022.
Electric Boulevard, a new pedestrianised high street, which runs from the south of the Power Station, between Frank Gehry’s Prospect Place and Foster + Partners’ Battersea Roof Gardens to the new Battersea Power Station Zone 1 Underground station, will also open on the same day.
Almost 40 years after its closure Battersea has been redesigned as a retail and leisure destination. The building’s retail offering is housed in the Power Station’s two newly restored, historic Turbine Halls.
Inside the Turbine Halls, shoppers will find an array of British and international brands, with the first wave opening in October including the likes of Hugo Boss, Theory, Lacoste, Ralph Lauren, Aesop, Space NK, Ace + Tate, lululemon, Mulberry, Jo Malone London, Uniqlo, Mango and a new neighbourhood bookstore, Battersea Bookshop, from specialist bookseller Stanfords.
Further brands will be announced in the lead up to the opening.
The Boiler House at the heart of the Grade II- listed building will also be home to the recently announced 24,000 sq. ft Arcade Food Hall from JKS Restaurants which will open in 2023.
Simon Murphy, CEO at Battersea Power Station Development Company (BPSDC), said: “It has taken a lot of hard work, determination, and the continued commitment of the Malaysian Shareholders over the past ten years to bring Battersea Power Station back to its former glory.
“Announcing that we will be opening the building to the public for the first time in history in just over a month’s time is a monumental moment for the project. We can’t wait to welcome the first visitors, and show the local community, Londoners, and the rest of the world, the historic beauty of the Grade II listed building, which has been transformed into London’s most unique destination for all to enjoy.”
