A new living
experience, created
within the historic
walls of one the
capital’s last great
industrial icons, tells
a story 1OO years in
the making.
On the riverfront, in one of the most refined
corners of London, a twin-turreted power
station that once powered the Underground
is re-energised and reimagined to offer a
21st century living experience like no other.
A Chelsea original, located in an intimate
enclave at the heart of London’s most
distinguished and elegant Royal Borough,
takes on a revolutionary new form, marking
the biggest change for the borough in living
memory. A story that began more than 100
years ago reaches its natural conclusion.
Welcome to the Powerhouse, an
exceptionally rare and special collection of
260 luxury apartments embraced by history

One of the most historic and iconic
London landmarks, and the last of
the city’s three power stations to be
redeveloped, Lots Road Power Station
was born of a noble purpose to power
the movement of a growing population.
An extraordinary place, once alive with
industry and buzzing with invention,
now stirs back into life, realising its
destiny as an even more extraordinary
place to live – an exclusive residential
address with a proud historic past.

Powerhouse’s impressive entrance opens onto the majestic,
light-filled Atrium, designed by award-winning luxury
interior architect, Fiona Barratt-Campbell. The beautiful and
contrasting spaces of the Atrium and Concierge combine
modern and natural elements with unique points
of historical interest.
Full-height, natural, evergreen trees have been
purposefully placed where the building’s turbines used to
stand. Flowing water troughs echo the creation of steam and
two industrial chimneys (which you can walk into the base
area to appreciate their full height) anchor either end of the
space. And, overhead, a spectacular ‘electric current’ lighting
installation represents the fundamental purpose of the

a launch pad of fashion and creativity, led
by Mary Quant – the designer credited with
giving the miniskirt mass appeal and igniting
the spirit of female liberation. Sex, the King’s

Westwood and Malcolm McLaren, ushered in
an era of punk, confronting social taboos and

Chelsea’s history is one of constant
reinvention, channelling subcultures as
diverse as dandies, dolly birds and mods. It’s
always served a vibrant slice of culture and
remained at the forefront of fashion’s new
wave. And there’s every reason to believe that
this unique corner of London will continue to
rewrite the rules for years to come.
