Global events and entertainment company IMG has been appointed to operate the operate the Chimney Lift inside the Grade II* listed Power Station’s North West Chimney.

Travelling 109 metres up the interior of the North West chimney to the top, the Chimney Lift at Battersea Power Station will offer views of the capital's skyline and a one-of-a-kind perspective back down onto the historic landmark. The bespoke glass Chimney Lift will hold around 30 visitors and be available to the public as well as for private events. The visitor experience will begin in Turbine Hall A with an immersive exhibition celebrating the Power Station’s history, before venturing into the Chimney Lift.

“This year is going to be the most exciting yet in the transformation of Battersea Power Station with our first residents moving into their homes this spring, the Northern Line Extension opening in the autumn and our retailer and office occupiers starting to fit out their spaces ahead of opening the Power Station’s doors to the public next year,” said Sam Cotton, head of leasing at Battersea Power Station Development Company.

Once completed, Battersea Power Station will form the centrepiece of a new ‘15-minute’ live, work and play neighbourhood, which will act as a town centre for the immediate and wider local communities, a new business quarter for the capital and an experiential destination for Londoners and international visitors. Inside the Power Station there will be 253 residential apartments, over 100 retail shops, restaurants and cafes as well as event spaces. Apple will also take 500,000sq ft of office space across six floors in the Power Station for its new London campus. 

Circus West Village, the first chapter in the regeneration of Battersea Power Station, is already home to more than 1,500 residents and over 20 bars, restaurants, cafés and fitness and leisure offerings.
