London: Battersea power station set for public opening after 10-year development

> Apple will relocate more than 1,500 employees from offices around London to its new UK base inside the boiler house

But at least they get to shop at “Uniqlo, Mango, Superdry and Swatch”. The glamour of not working from home - boiler rooms and shopping at chain stores.

In the same vein, the crossness pumping station also has a beautiful interior. https://secretldn.com/crossness-pumping-station/

If anybody is interested in old brick building architecture revitalisations I strongly recommend visiting warsaw. It has:

- Powiśle Power Plant [1]

- Koszyki Hall [2]

- Norblin Hall [3]

- Praga Koneser Center [4]

to name just a few. There are more to come. The grounds are not broken by prime ministers, since they’re much more of a common occurrence. It’s a really nice sight and they also usually combine office space with retail space and sometimes apartments. Worth checking out

> Control Room A, which has art deco flourishes and a herringbone parquet floor

If you're going to build a power station, why not do it with some style, to paraphrase Doc Emmett Brown.

Where are the floating pigs? What kind of makeover is this?
