A chimney lift adventure

Battersea power station is an engineering feat and the chimney lift is a part of that which zooms up to pop up the top for a stunning view on the northwest stack. Cosmos our guide was an entertainer which added some laughs yi the tour .

Battersea lift experience.

A great experience from beginning to end. I suffer from claustrophobia, so spoke to one of the staff, Charles, beforehand who it was very reassuring and explained the process. Charlie, our guide in the lift was also great and we loved his enthusiasm and knowledge. The views from the top were amazing and worth every penny.

OK experience but expensive for the time you get.

Yes you get great 360 degree views from the top of the London skyline but the whole experience (minus our queuing time) was less than 30 mins. Didn’t feel it was worth the money for the short experience. Think the estimated time length of experience must have included some queuing time!
