Battersea Power Station opened its doors to the public for today for the first time in almost 40 years, with the five day Festival of Power marking the occasion.
The opening marks the second phase of a £9billion regeneration project which has seen the decommissioned power plant and the surrounding area transform into a luxury riverside neighbourhood.
