Given the lack of authenticity, I wonder why a pastiche of the old power station needs to be part of any new development? After all, we already have one old coal power station preserved as an art gallery in the form of Tate Modern -- just how many does London need? True. It should really be put out of its misery and demolished. I don't think people are as sentimental about it as the politicians think. At the end of the day it was just a power station, not a cathedral. Whats the status of Lots Road these days? Is that still around? Largely demolished, I think. I don't know if any part of the old building will survive into the new development. I found these short videos from 2008 and 2009 (there's more): 2008: http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&h...&v=M1Cm2u3rKGo 2009: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cUfi...eature=related |
