Power Station reborn — Zone 1 Northern Line, Thames-side living
Battersea is one of London's most-watched regeneration markets, anchored by the £9bn Battersea Power Station scheme which delivered 2,200+ new homes and the Northern Line extension when the Grade II*-listed Power Station reopened in 2022. Phases 5–7 are now actively delivering apartments — including 200 new council homes — across the next four years.
Battersea Power Station and the wider Nine Elms regeneration is one of the largest in London. Of the seven phases at the Power Station, phases 1 and 2 are complete, phases 3 and 4 are progressing, and phase 5 is launching with a mix of private sale and 200 new council homes. The Northern Line extension delivered direct Zone 1 connectivity in 2021.
