About Power Station Park and the riverside walk
For a century this stretch of riverbank was given over to coal and warehouses and closed to the public. Today Power Station Park spreads over six acres in front of the building, along 450 metres of the Thames, with lawns, planting, paths and a wide square at the river front; across the whole site more than 19 acres are public space. The riverside walk runs west past Circus West Village, where Morag Myerscough’s “POWER” installation marks the way, to steps up to Chelsea Bridge, and the Uber Boat pier is beside the park. Battersea Park lies just beyond Chelsea Bridge Road.
