Bankside Power Station under construction, The Borough, Southwark, Greater London

Construction of a new power station at Bankside began in 1947. As with Battersea Power Station, the architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott was employed to design its exterior appearance. Bankside had a short working life. It was completed in 1963 and closed in 1981. In 2000 the building reopened as the Tate Modern art gallery.
