Following its recent opening, Bull and Bear meet up to discuss the re-modelled Battersea Power Station and the wider Nine Elms Opportunity Area. From an unloved industrial wasteland, it is now arguably London’s fastest growing and most vibrant residential and business district.

Despite the transformation, the area could be regarded as being ‘an international investor’s playground’, where regular Londoners have been pushed to the edge or cut out of the picture altogether. Lots of expensive flats lie empty.
The Power Station scheme will eventually house 4,000 homes and over 3m sq. ft. of commercial space. Occupiers including the likes of Apple will be taking occupation in the coming months.
This vast scheme demonstrates that the redevelopment of major urban areas can be both forward looking and sympathetic to its history.
Enjoy your Sunday.
