182. Battersea Power Station

 


Monday 10th July, 11.45am

I hadn't planned to visit this, or it's neighbour Nine Elms, until I'd finished visiting all 270 Tube stations, just to keep it neat with percentages, but then I found myself visiting the area so I ticked it off anyway.

The station is very much like the new Jubilee line ones although somewhere along the way their individuality has been lost and it's just a bit plain and boring. In the space with the barriers and the entrances/exits there's artworks on opposite walls where things flip over to make a long horizontal panel change colour. Badly explained, better in reality. The bit of the exit above ground is unimpressive but then I guess it would be silly to try and compete with Battersea Power Station.
