Iconic sky high views followed by a delicious lunch. For Two people.
WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
Battersea Power Station, at its peak, supplied a fifth of London's power. Buckingham Palace and Westminster were both powered by Battersea. It is an iconic London landmark, and the famous chimneys ensured that it became a listed building. Redeveloping the site proved complicated. Indeed, there was a time when Londoners thought it would never get built, but after a few false starts it did, and Battersea Power Station has become London's newest cool shopping and eating destination.
In 2014, the famous chimneys were dismantled, but they had to be rebuilt to the precise specifications of the original. You wouldn't have thought they could do it, let alone incorporate a lift into the north-west chimney. Going up is an epic experience.
The lift takes you up and up and up. A whole 109 metres up with 360-degree views over the London skyline. Your journey starts in the Turbine Hall, where you can look at the original records and learn about the history of the power station. As you board the lift, constellations of light guide your ascent to the viewing platform, where you and an adventurous pigeon can soak up the sights. Don't worry, you won't be getting out. There is glass between you, the sky and the pigeon.
TELL ME MORE
The next part of your day takes you up The Mall to lunch at The Royal Horseguards Hotel. As the name suggests, this is also an iconic venue, once the home of National Liberal Club and the home of the first chief of MI6. One Twenty One Two is the name of the restaurant, inspired by the building's former neighbour, Scotland Yard, and is derived from the world-famous phone number, Whitehall 1212.
There are two courses to choose from, and there is a carefully curated menu. The space is traditional, warm and welcoming, just the spot for lunch.
