Now the power station is reborn as a place for the super-rich...check it out!!!

For almost half a century, it stood as a totem to the nation's strength and ambition: a palace of power, providing a fifth of London's electricity. By the late Seventies, however, when dirty, expensive, coal-fired plants were replaced by cheaper and cleaner forms of energy, its output dwindled and, in 1983, the lights went out for good. Battersea Power Station fast became a sadly different sort of symbol. With its 338 ft chimneys visibly cracking and its six million soot-stained bricks crumbling, it was an emblem of Britain's decline.dailymail
