The internet is alight with Battersea PS at the moment, so I thought we'd have our say. Explorers have been hitting Battersea since at least 2005, which is when we became aware of it. No doubt people had got in before us, we didn't know of them and we don't know now to be honest. Stoop and JD...
I guess this is high stuff? But then, there are also some underground bits as well...
As a side hobby/business I practice and offer physical penetration testing to companies.
The below was a (somewhat) permission based visit to Battersea Power Station, as well as the new Underground Station...
There are several tunnels under the river Thames at Battersea. I belive there are 4 in total, 2 electricity tunnels, 1 steam tunnel, and 1 gas tunnel. The ones I am focusing on are the two electricity tunnels. These go from Battersea Power station to the north side of the river.
One of the...
Hi Folks,
Does anybody know about this tunnel under the River Thames ? It once supplied steam and hot water to 'Dolphin Square' on the north bank of the river. Now that the power station has long closed, has this tunnel been permanently sealed or is it still explorable ?
The hot water was...
The History
Yeah I know you all know it but I’ve added it anyways.
Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned coal-fired power station, which is now being redeveloped to bring new homes, offices, shops, restaurants, bars, open space and more to Wandsworth, south London. Now owned by a...
Every explorer has a ‘List’ of sites they would love to explore these lists differ from person to person, although i think fairly close to the top of this list must be Battersea Power Station. Its very sad that i missed the chance to explore this before the major works started! Nowadays the site...
Battersea Power Station.... Remember that place? I’d forgotten all about it too after everyone said it couldn't be done any longer - until we had a little revisit a couple of months ago – Yep, turns out it was still doable all along!
I was quite happy to get back there and get some better...
What went down
There is currently an event taking place for the duration of the summer called the 'Power of Summer' directly in front of Battersea Power station. It includes an open-air cinema, street food stalls and bars. I went along with Sentinel and extreme_ironing for a couple of beers...
So after visiting this iconic site the month before and not getting around to seeing everything I wanted plans were made to visit again. Did the visit and then forgot all about the photos :crazy
The first visit involved 25 odd people on the roof, being scared shitless by Skeleton Key & 4am...
Have been down here a few times since the start of the month to check out access and security issues but this is the first time I've made it upstairs, was making good progress on my previous visit but seems I mistook another forum member for security and I gave up after hanging around in some...
The Explore
It doesn't get much more iconic than Battersea Power station. I visited twice with Sentinel, we had a feeling this would be a tricky place to conquer and we weren't wrong. On our first visit we encountered various obstacles and at points we nearly gave up on both control rooms but...
History
Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned coal-fired power station located on the south bank of the River Thames. The station ceased generating electricity in 1983, but over the past 50 years it has become one of the best known landmarks in London. On 7 June 2012 it was sold to SP...
So here we go again, yes another report from BPS, but its such an amazing place and we had a right good laugh the 4 times we went, in a two week period in Sept. It was a surprise that we only meet three people inside, what with all the traffic visiting this vast tourist trap!
Every time i...
I know I know I know..... It has been done sooooo many times now and noting the date. It is really late... Visited in a group of 8+. Even met another group up there as I was coming down, so whilst I'm hiding in the scaffolding keeping very still, thinking there's secca on the roof, with a rave...
Hello, I have had this on my list for a long time and after a few messages we arranged a meet. Got lost loads of times inside and found the famous white room show flat but couldn't find access to the other control room. A revisit is on the cards i think.
Battersea Power Station is a...
