Inside the Derelict Millennium Mills

Millennium Mills has been described as the Battersea Power Station of the Royal Docks. This huge industrial building and its surroundings are about to get a £3.5 billion revamp. The centrepiece was once a thriving flour mill, taking in grain from around the world and converting it to powder. The mill closed in the early 1980s, along with most other industry in the Royal Docks. It has remained derelict ever since, visited only by urban explorers and film crews looking for a gritty edge.
