Question for Londoners

[cat 2]

On a trip to London a months ago, I noticed a few minutesout on the Victoria line, a large derelict power station,with four chimneys. Seemed to be out the left window.What is the name of this power station?I notice with FS2002, approaching 27L Heathrow, I see a largepower station. Is this the same one?Hope you can help.Peter Sydney Australia

I'm not from London (Manchester actually) but I think you mean the Battersea Power Station. Now closed. If it's the one you're talking about (and I can't think of any other) it is the one you see in FS2002. It's a major landmark in London.Check if it's the one here - http://art-estore.com/batterseabusiness/bps/bpshist.htm

As the other poster confirmed this IS Battersea Power Station.I grew up in Battersea in the 50's not too far from the power station in fact. A few years ago there was a consortium who wanted to turn it into a theme park... can't remember why it all fell through but I think I prefer it to be left as is.CheersDave MarchFDC Website:http://www.oncourse-software.co.uk

Peter,Battersea Power Station is about a well-known landmark now as Luna Park. ;-) But I guess Luna is open again since the millennium, isn't it?

it's also on the cover of Pink Floyd's Animals album:http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000024D4R.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpggreetsStephan

Back in the 60's I lived near Stockwell and Brixton and I remember Battersea as I looked out the window as I rode past on the train out of Clapham Junction. Memories...Pete

Thanks all for responses. I was looking for the onein FS2002. I had seen one on the way up the Thames toHampton Court. Then I saw the one at Greenwich, then I sawBattersea. Now it's all clear. I think these old industrialsites are great. Must get inside Battersea PS next time I'mover there.Peter Sydney Australia
