Battersea Power Station used to pipe hot water under the Thames to
provide heating to Dolphin Square and Pimlico.

When the station closed thiis was replaced by a coal-fired boiler house
between the power station and the railway. This was later converted to
'dual', I assume gas and oil, firing according to its sign. Quite
recently this was demolished, does anyone know what has now replaced
it?

I always thought that the excess heat from Battersea was used to heat
homes on the Churchill Estate in Pimlico but not Dolphin Square. Have
I been misinformed?
