Time Out says

A Grade II-listed Art Deco masterpiece, and Europe's largest brick building, Battersea Power Station is a London icon that has appeared in films such as Alfred Hitchcock's 'Sabotage' and Monty Python's 'The Meaning of Life', episodes of 'Doctor Who' and, perhaps most famously, on the cover of Pink Floyd's 1977 album 'Animals'. But it has grown ever more derelict since it finally stopped producing electricity for the capital in 1983 – and is a graveyard for a succession of redevelopment schemes. Things could be looking up for this much-loved building, however. The latest plans for the 40-acre site include thousands of new homes, shops, a new park and an extension of London Underground's Northern line.

What’s on

The Elephant Trail

For the past few years the Elephant Family, a wildlife conservation charity, has organised the Big Egg Hunt – a trail of giant eggs dotted throughout London, designed by some of the country’s foremost artists and designers. That’s not happening this Easter. Instead, there’s a parade of 21 colourful elephants over in Battersea Power Station. The elephants have been decorated by creatives such as Studio Phantasma and Patricia Collins. Download the art trail app and you can tick off each sculpture as you come across them, unlocking special offers from retailers at the site.
