Battersea Power Station has announced a further wave of retail and leisure brands opening in the iconic Grade II listed building and on Electric Boulevard, central London’s newest pedestrianised high street, from Autumn 2022.
Amongst the line-up of new brands announced today is Battersea Bookshop, a new standalone neighbourhood bookshop from specialist bookseller Stanfords. The unique concept will have a curated collection of art, architecture and design books, in a modern, minimalist-designed store to honour the history and architecture of its home within the Power Station.
London fitness brand, Third Space, will also be opening a 28,000ft² club in 2023 offering space for training, recovery, relaxation and nutrition on the newly created pedestrianised high street, Electric Boulevard, which will run from the south of the Power Station, between Frank Gehry’s Prospect Place and Foster + Partners’ Battersea Roof Gardens to the Northern Line underground station.
Sam Cotton, Head of Leasing at Battersea Power Station Development Company, said: “The consumer experience has never been more important when it comes to creating a new retail destination and we’re extremely excited to be working with some of the leading retail, hospitality and dining concepts from around the globe, as well as independent, up and coming brands to bring something new and dynamic to London. Our aim has always been to create a visitor destination with something for everyone and the brand mix announced so far demonstrates that we have successfully achieved this.”
Simon Murphy, Chief Executive Officer at Battersea Power Station Development Company (BPSDC), said: “The countdown to the Power Station opening its doors to the public for the first time in history is well and truly on. From this Autumn, local residents, Londoners and visitors from further afield will be able to see for themselves how the Grade II* listed landmark has been transformed into a retail and leisure destination like no other. From the very beginning, our shareholders have been committed to giving back to the local community. The opening of the Power Station will not only give members of the public the opportunity to visit and enjoy one of Britain’s treasured landmarks, it will also create over 2,500 new jobs and help boost both the local and wider London economy.”
