    My NYE in London

    My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

    In Control After a scout around, the entrance was located and, after squeezing through some very tight spaces, we set about finding the good bits. Much of the interior of the building is now gone, with no generators or really anything of note in the main bulk. There were, however, two virtually untouched control rooms, which would once have controlled the supply of power to most of South London. The station is the largest brick building in Europe and despite numerous efforts at restoration (most recently by a Malaysian company who purchased the site for £400million) it has remained abandoned. Aware that we had other things to see, we made a visit to this London gem a quick one.
