Control Room B once synchronised the Power Station’s output with the National Grid. Restored with its faience tiles, arc of stainless-steel control desks and walls of dials, it is now an all-day bar on its own mezzanine, open to Turbine Hall B below. At its centre stands a radial bar inspired by a turbine, and the mood is mid-century glamour meeting Brutalism. Come for coffee by day or cocktails in the evening, and book a table for the evenings.
