Battersea Power Station opens to the public on Friday 14th October 2022.

The official opening date of the London landmark was announced this morning in front of the Power Station by a group of newspaper boys and girls dressed in 1930s attire, a nod to when Battersea Power Station first began generating electricity in 1933.

Electric Boulevard, the new pedestrianised high street, which runs from the south of the Power Station, between Frank Gehry’s Prospect Place and Foster + Partners’ Battersea Roof Gardens to the new Battersea Power Station Zone 1 Underground station, will also open on the same day.

Inside the Turbine Halls, shoppers will find an array of British and international brands, with the first wave opening in October including:

- Hugo Boss

- Theory

- Lacoste

- Ralph Lauren

- Aesop

- Space NK

- Ace + Tate

- lululemon

- Mulberry

- Jo Malone London

- Uniqlo

- Mango

- Battersea Bookshop from specialist bookseller Stanfords

More brands will be announced in the lead-up to the grand opening.

The Boiler House at the heart of the development will also be home to the recently announced 24,000 sq. ft Arcade Food Hall from JKS Restaurants which will open in 2023. Other food and beverage venues joining the line up inside the Power Station are Le Bab, Where The Pancakes Are, Poke House, Clean Kitchen Club, Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen & Bar and Paris Baguette.

These will complement a great mix of bars and restaurants already open in Circus West Village, the first chapter in the regeneration of Battersea Power Station, including Sugen Gopal’s Roti King, Tapas Brindisa, Wright Brothers, Vagabond Wines, Megan’s at the Power Station, Battersea Brewery, Francesco Mazzei’s Fiume and Vivek Singh’s Cinnamon Kitchen to name a few.

The Power Station’s two Control Rooms have also been fully restored. Control Room A is set to become a unique events space and Control Room B has been transformed into an exciting new all-day bar concept, where patrons will be able to get up close and personal with the Control Room’s original dials and controls.

A host of entertainment venues are also set to open, including The Cinema at the Power Station – whose sister site The Cinema in the Arches is located under the railway arches in Circus West Village. It will play host to a private members club alongside showing the latest blockbusters in their state-of-the-art screens.

Electric Boulevard, the new high street, will offer a mix of bars and restaurants, office space, shops, a park, community hub and a new 164-room hotel from art’otel London Battersea Power Station, the brand’s first hotel to open in the UK.

Retailers already announced to be opening on Electric Boulevard later this year include high street favourite, ZARA, a new-concept M&S Foodhall and a 28,000 sq. ft club from London fitness brand, Third Space, will also be opening in 2023.

Simon Murphy, Chief Executive Officer at Battersea Power Station Development Company (BPSDC), commented: “It has taken a lot of hard work, determination, and the continued commitment of the Malaysian Shareholders over the past ten years to bring Battersea Power Station back to its former glory. Announcing that we will be opening the building to the public for the first time in history in just over a month’s time is a monumental moment for the project. We can’t wait to welcome the first visitors, and show the local community, Londoners, and the rest of the world, the historic beauty of the Grade II* listed building, which has been transformed into London’s most unique destination for all to enjoy.”

Over 2,500 new jobs will be created once the Power Station's doors open, with a total of 17,000 jobs created once the entire 42-acre project is completed.
