From the Petting Zoo in the recently opened North Park to the exciting Easter Bunny Egg Hunt and special Easter menus and workshops from our lovely retailers, there will be something for everyone to enjoy. 

“It’s an extremely exciting year for Battersea Power Station with the iconic Grade II* listed building opening its doors to the public from September. The activities available over the Easter break are the perfect opportunity for those who are yet to visit this vibrant new riverside neighbourhood for London to discover everything it has to offer.”  

Circus West Village, the first chapter in the regeneration of Battersea Power Station, is already home to 1,700 residents and more than 20 bars, restaurants, cafés, fitness and leisure offerings including Gordon Ramsay’s Street Pizza, Fiume, Wright Brothers, Tapas Brindisa, No.29 Power Station West, The Turbine Theatre, Black Sheep Coffee, Boom Cycle and The Cinema in The Arches to name a few.

Opening from September 2022, the iconic Battersea Power Station will be home to 254 residential apartments, over 100 retail shops, restaurants and cafes, as well as unique event spaces including the Chimney Lift Experience. The opening will coincide with the launch of this exciting riverside neighbourhood’s new high street, Electric Boulevard, which will offer a mix of office space, shops, bars and restaurants, a 164-room hotel, and a community centre.

Opening shortly, just in time for Easter, the new Prospect Park children’s playground and park area at Battersea Power Station will be the perfect spot for families to have extra fun during the Half Term holiday.

With the Northern Line extended to give this new riverside neighbourhood its very own Zone 1 London Underground station, Battersea Power Station is now within 15 minutes of the West End and the City and is expected to draw visitors from across the capital and the globe, becoming one of London’s most visited destinations, boosting the local economy and creating over 20,000 jobs.
