The historic coal fired Battersea Power Station was constructed in two parts, A Station and B Station, between 1929 to 1955 on the south side of the River Thames in Nine Elms, Wandsworth designed by architects J. Theo Halliday and Giles Gilbert Scott in an Art Deco and brick cathedral style; the two parts were decommissioned in 1975 and 1983 after which the building was left derelict with various plans submitted to bring the ruins back to life including as a theme park, a retail, housing and leisure complex, an eco dome and a new football stadium for Chelsea FC; the building was bought by a Malaysian consortium in 2012 and was fully restored and redeveloped, opening to the public in 2022. In 1986, the property developer and founder of Alton Towers John Broome (1943-2023), purchased Battersea Power Station with plans to create a theme park; due to lack of funding work on the project stopped in 1989 and the building was sold. The notable print maker, muralist and activist Brian Barnes (1944-2021) founded the Battersea Power Station Community Group in 1983 and was known for his active campaigns to preserve the listed building and ensure that local people were involved in the redevelopment plans.
