Battersea Power Station tube station

Battersea Power Station is a London Underground station in Battersea, south-west London. It stands on Battersea Park Road, close to Battersea Park railway station and within walking distance of Queenstown Road railway station. The station opened in September 2021 as the terminus of the Northern line extension. It is the only Underground station whose name includes the word ‘station’. The entrance canopy was designed by Grimshaw, and the ticket hall features a 100-metre kinetic sculpture by Alexandre da Cunha. The station serves the redevelopment of Battersea Power Station and the surrounding area. Since opening, it has carried over five million trips, with around eighty thousand journeys each week. Transport for London expects demand to rise to ten million trips a year by 2024–25. The station won an Architects’ Journal award in 2022, with the canopy praised by the judges. A western entrance opened in 2025, linked by a refurbished subway under Battersea Park Road. Visitors find a modern Underground station with two platforms and a spacious ticket hall. The kinetic sculpture in the ticket hall turns slowly, showing changing images. A second artwork, a labyrinth by Mark Wallinger, was installed to mark ten years of art on the Underground and the 160th anniversary of the network. The station connects to local bus routes and nearby railway stations. The surrounding area includes Battersea Park and the redeveloping power station site.
