Detail InformationEdit

Bankside Power Station is a former oil-fired power station, located on the south bank of The River Thames, in the Bankside district of London. It generated electricity from 1952 to 1981. Since 2000 the station’s building has been used to house the Tate Modern art museum.
The station was commissioned following a power shortage in 1947. The building was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the designer of Liverpool Cathedral, Battersea Power Station and the Red telephone box. The building is a 200 m (660 ft) long, steel framed, brick clad building with a substantial central chimney which stands at 99 m (325 ft). The chimney’s height was limited to less than the spire of St Paul’s Cathedral, which already stood on the direct opposite side of the river. Despite strong local opposition, Scott’s design was completed and accepted within a year.
