“We’re beyond excited to be part of one
of London’s most iconic locations,” say
Boom founders Hilary and Robert Rowland
(pictured below left). “The vision that has
been set out by the team at Battersea
Power Station will ensure an incredible
place to work, live, visit and socialise.”
Ben Wright and Robin Hancock,
co-owners of Wright Brothers (pictured
below far right), are also delighted with
the new premises:
“We’re thrilled to be opening a new
restaurant right next to the iconic Grade
II-listed Battersea Power Station. We’re
very proud that our wholesale business
now supplies over 250 top restaurants
with seafood, and to open our fifth
restaurant south of the river.”
The new Village Hall will host both large
and small events. Residents and visitors
at Circus West will also have a ringside
seat for the restoration of Battersea
Power Station itself, due to be complete
in 2020.
In 2016, technology giant Apple
confirmed that the iconic power station
will house its new London campus in
2021. The firm will become the largest
office tenant at the former electricity
generator, with 1,400 staff across six
floors in the central boiler house.
The successful regeneration of Battersea
Power Station will create 20,000 new
jobs, inject £20bn into the UK economy
and help to fund the Northern Line
extension, the first new Underground line
since the Millennium.
