- Panoramic views: From the northwest chimney of Battersea Power Station, Lift 109 provides 360-degree views of London’s skyline. You’ll be able to see major landmarks like the Shard, Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral, and the London Eye from one of the highest viewing points in the city.
- Iconic location: Battersea Power Station is a landmark of London’s industrial history and an architectural marvel. Once a coal-fired power station, it has been transformed into a modern hub of culture, dining, shopping, and entertainment, blending history with modern luxury.
- Immersive experience: Before ascending the chimney, you’ll get to explore an interactive exhibition that delves into the power station’s history, its restoration, and its role in shaping London.
- Exclusive experience: Lift 109 is a relatively new attraction, so it still offers a sense of exclusivity and novelty. Unlike some of the more crowded tourist spots in London, this experience feels fresh and is still flying slightly under the radar for many visitors.
