About The Chimney Lift at Battersea Power Station

The Chimney Lift, which opened as Lift 109, begins on Level 1 of the Art Deco Turbine Hall A, where original records and media displays tell the story of the building. A circular glass lift then rises inside the north-west chimney, lit by “constellations” of light, to 109 metres, where the whole of London opens up around you, from Battersea Park and Chelsea to the City towers. Visits are by timed ticket, booked on the Chimney Lift’s own website. It opens from 10am daily, until 6pm Sunday to Wednesday and 8pm Thursday to Saturday. Searcys has a bar beside the lift on Level 1.
