Christmas Shopping at an Iconic London Landmark

Today, the Power Station and surrounding riverside neighbourhood are home to an impressive selection of British and international brands, giving you plenty of opportunities to get ahead with your Christmas shopping.
Whether you’re searching for presents for family and friends, treating yourself to something special, looking for Christmas outfits or simply enjoying a browse, you’ll find everything from fashion and beauty to homeware, accessories, technology, toys and gifts.
It’s the perfect opportunity to make a start on the Christmas list – or perhaps finish it!
More Than Just Shopping
You certainly don’t have to be a dedicated shopper to enjoy Battersea Power Station.
Part of the appeal of this day trip is having the freedom to spend your time exactly as you wish.
Explore the magnificent interior of the restored Power Station, wander through the impressive Turbine Halls, admire the building’s famous architecture or take a stroll outside along the River Thames.
The transformation of Battersea Power Station has created a fascinating combination of old and new, with the historic industrial architecture providing a spectacular backdrop to the modern shops, restaurants and public spaces found throughout the development.
There are plenty of opportunities to stop for a coffee, enjoy lunch or perhaps treat yourself to something sweet during the afternoon.
Food, Coffee & Festive Treats
Christmas shopping deserves a good refreshment stop!
Battersea Power Station has an excellent selection of cafés, bars and restaurants, making it easy to break up your shopping with something to eat or drink.
From a quick coffee and light bite to a leisurely lunch or something a little more indulgent, there are options to suit a wide range of tastes.
Take some time to sit back, enjoy the surroundings and watch the world go by before heading out for another round of Christmas shopping.
Explore the Battersea Riverside
If you fancy a break from the shops, head outside and explore the riverside neighbourhood surrounding the Power Station.
The location alongside the River Thames makes Battersea a particularly enjoyable part of London to explore, combining the historic Power Station with contemporary architecture, landscaped public spaces and riverside walks.
You can enjoy views across the Thames, wander along the riverfront or simply take in one of London’s most impressive regeneration projects.
