Expect a contemporary feel with a nod to its 1950s industrial character - situated on its own private mezzanine floor and overlooking one of the two giant turbine halls. The restored control panels are all on display alongside a beautiful centrepiece bar, which is a turbine-inspired radial sculpture. Staff don utilitarian boiler suits in a nod to the Power Station’s employees back in the 1950s - and serve drinks influenced by the Power Station and the 1950s Control Room through vessels and ingredients used. 

Fiume

A firm local favourite overlooking the piazza on the river’s edge. Francesco Mazzei, known for Sartoria on Savile Row and Islington’s Radici, brings his signature Italian style south of the river to Battersea Power Station.

Roti King

Nearby is a branch of the iconic Malaysian restaurant Roti King - also under an arch of the Victoria station railway bridge. This salubrious setting is in stark contrast to the original. The restaurant is focused on the food, so the aesthetic is paired-down and simple. Expect an affordable and tasty selection of Malaysian dishes, each of which are inspired by traditional Malaysian street food. The Battersea menu has been tweaked to add vegan options, which Southeast Asian beer is available by the bottle alongside canned wine.
