A hub of culture in London, Battersea Power Station is an iconic Grade II listed landmark which once generated one-fifth of London’s power, supplying electricity to renowned addresses including Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament.
The historic building, with its four iconic chimneys that soar above the UK capital, has been masterfully restored and forms the centrepiece of this new riverside neighbourhood, which offers over 170 shops, restaurants, cafes and leisure experiences, both inside and around the Power Station.
"London remains one of the most exciting cities to visit in the world, and we look forward to welcoming many tourists from the GCC over the summer,” Director of Communications at Battersea Power Station Development Company, Beau Limbrick-Cassidy, says. “Over the past few years, we’ve seen how popular Battersea Power Station has been with Middle Eastern visitors who are seeking a curated experience which features the very best of British heritage and international culture.
“Whether it's marvelling at Ancient Egyptian artefacts at NEON’s exciting new exhibition, shopping the latest summer collections, or enjoying a delicious meal by the river, Battersea Power Station is the definitive London destination for 2026."
This summer, Battersea Power Station will host the Ramses & the Pharaohs’ Gold: The Exhibition at NEON. This once-in-a-lifetime exhibition features over 180 authentic Egyptian masterpieces, from colossal statues to intricately carved royal coffins, officially endorsed by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities. Visitors can also ascend 109 metres to the top of the northwest chimney at The Chimney Lift experience, enjoying unparalleled 360-degree panoramic views of the London skyline and a perfect backdrop for unforgettable summer memories.
For those seeking rejuvenation during their travels, Battersea Power Station offers riverside dining and Thames walks with a myriad F&B options at hand, premium fitness and beauty studios and retail therapy across 170+ world-class brands.
Battersea Power Station is designed with families in mind, with low traffic, large open spaces including the six acre Power Station Park, ensuring that children are just as entertained as adults.
Some family highlights bound to resonate include hands-on play at the LEGO store, the world’s first-ever permanent Peppa Pig store, Macaroni Penguin soft play and drop-off weekend creche services at MEplace Nursery, a land train that tours around the landmark and the Prospect Park playground and diverse family dining options.
