WATCH: Battersea Power Station holds re-development celebration

Battersea Power Station has held a week-long festival celebrating the success of its re-development, one year after doors opened to the public.

The Behind the Bricks Festival hosted performances from local musicians, heritage talks on the station’s history and children’s activities.

A total of 11 million people have now visited the attraction, which once provided around a fifth of all the power for London before it was closed in 1983.

The new complex boasts a range of shops, restaurants and outside facilities including play parks and green spaces.

Despite criticism from some that the new building lacks character, efforts by architects to maintain elements or the two original turbine halls are evident throughout.

Watch the full report on the Behind the Bricks festival below.
