This is your chance to step inside Battersea Power Station and experience its rich history and architecture before making a thrilling ascent 109 metres to the top of the north-west chimney where you will take in stunning 360-degree views.
Your Chimney Lift journey begins in the Power Station’s magnificent Art Deco Turbine Hall A where you step back in time as you walk-through a recreation of architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s office, explore an illustrated wall that brings the construction of Battersea Power Station to life with touchpoints activating sound and movement, and at a hands-on working model of the working Power Station bring coal from the River Thames to generate power. Quiz lovers of all ages can also test their knowledge as they battle it out to get the highest score at a touchscreen quiz table.
