Battersea Power Station

It was interesting to revisit some of our old haunts in Chelsea Bridge Wharf. Of course it's now all part of the greater Battersea Power Station complex, which is a worthwhile day trip in London. I notice that even the Made in Chelsea gang have many of their sessions over in Battersea now. We used to call it 'South Chelsea' anyway.

The reassuringly expensive wine is still on sale in the General Store, with normal bottles around £25-£60 and the selected specials ranging up to £800. And next door is that vagabond of a wine bar which dispenses metred wine.

 

Walk through the power station and it is difficult to see the impact of the recession. Everyone carries high-end shopping bags and luxury goods are ubiquitous. I think it's called bi-modal distribution.

Here's one of the infinity pool overlooking the Battersea chimneys.
