What Shops Are in Battersea Power Station
You will get hungry. And the answer is Control Room B. This is the old turbine hall turned into a food market. It’s like a steampunk food court. You can eat ramen under a giant turbine blade.

There’s a stall called “The Gipsy Moth” that does the best fish and chips. Pro tip: Lick the newspaper it comes in. No? Just me? Fine.
Don’t skip Wright Brothers for oysters. They shuck them with a level of dramatic flair that should win an Oscar. And for dessert? Melt—a chocolate shop that sells you a “warm cookie” that you eat with a spoon. It’s a religious experience.
Quirky fact: The original control room, with all the old dials and levers, is now a bar. You can order a martini from the very desk where workers once monitored the electrical grid for all of London. Legends only.
The Shops That Make You Scratch Your Head
There’s a shop called “The White Company”. It sells, you guessed it, white stuff. Towels, bedding, candles. It’s so aggressively beige and white that I felt guilty for wearing a blue shirt. Funny detail: They have a “pillow bar” where you can test pillows. Yes, you can nap there. I saw a man do it.
Then there’s Mango and Zara. Standard fast-fashion royalty. But here, they are ginormous. You will get lost in the denim section. Bring a compass.
And for the love of all that is good, visit Space NK. It’s a beauty wonderland. They have a machine that analyzes your skin and then yells at you, “YOU NEED MOISTURIZER!” in a polite British accent.
