Malaysian proud 🇲🇾 . Tq for review stunning building .
The Uber boat experience is amazing as you are passing by iconic buildings like the Houses of Parliament, the Shard and other buildings along the Thames on your way to Battersea Power Station.
I remember when Battersea Power Station was still in use. My grandparents live directly opposite on the other side of the Embankment. I remember the Pink Floyd pig flying from it too.
Thank goodness, after many many attempts at redevelopment, someone got there in the end. It’s a beautiful building and I love the inside with some of the original machinery and gantries.
Would have been better to have more community sites, not just very very high end shops. However, the developers have to recoup there investment I suppose.
Will be a great place to hang out in the summer with the embankment areas landscaped. Plus you can walk straight into Battersea Park from the embankment walkway. As always, a great vlog Mr C.
What an amazing fascinating experience. Love wandering around with you popping into the coolest shops, visiting places I would never otherwise go to. My health issues are proving to be particularly challenging at the moment so browsing the stores and sharing your take on life really elevates my spirits. 😊❤
Same with me I had a stroke and now can’t walk very far so this is great for me
Same with me,I have to decide to go depending on if they take disabled people of not, this is lovely to look at from an abled body ,I also watch shopping videos so I can decide what to buy and if its worth taking my scooter in ☺
that is simply splendid ❤ another way the UK is absolutely brilliant when it comes to restoration and re-purposing old buildings. thank you so much for taking us along.
Since I'm Canadian, I have supported Lululemon for many years. I still have clothing from 18 years ago that washes up like new. I know they're expensive, but so comfortable and mine have really stood up with no pilling. Thanks for taking us shopping! What a great place to see.
Wow, that’s definitely good cost per wear then!
I remember the power station being abandoned for years. It was also used in Dr Who for the cybermen episodes.
Fabulous video Mr Carrington - wonderful to see how Battersea has evolved from the past days of the power station. I'm a London girl - it was always a (imo) ugly site, especially compared to other landmark sites on the Thames. Brilliant to see how it is being used, and enjoyed for the future.
Watching as always, from West Wales 🏴.
Wishing all viewers and Ewan, a Happy and Peaceful Sunday wherever you are 🙏💖
Cheers sharon
@@hazel3055 you're welcome, Hazel - I hope you have had a good day x
How lovely of you sharon , i hope your days are bright , take care ❤️
Thanks for giving us a look. I love just walking through shopping areas to just look! I don’t have to even spend any money, except for a coffee. 😊
Love your honesty when telling us about places. I went up the tower at Glasgow Science Centre. It was lovely if a slightly terrifying experience they weren't sure if we would ascend owing to the wind speed. We did get to go up after a short wait to see if the wind would drop. The lady did warn us if it picked up again, we would have to abandon the cabin and walk down the staircase inside the tower.
Hi Iwan!
Very nice vlog! What an immense place to tour around.
Great variety of shops, bars and restaurants!
As we are living vicariously through you and your experiences, l would love to see you spend your hard-earned money and buy some of the clothing that you admire. You can't take it with you when you go. We know that you love to thrift but, sometime treat yourself and us and Buy what you like. And even at Paper Chase when so much was so drastically reduced, nothing was bought. I love to shop and l do but things that l love, not just for myself but for friends and family. It seems like it's always someone's birthday and l like to know that I have gifts on hand to give.
The thrifted jacket looked great on you! That was a great find!
You look so cuddly in it and the bright white was perfect for your complexion. You are so very handsome!
If l were in England with a book recording firm, l'd put you under contract ASAP! You could sell
Tons of recorded books, so very easily! I've often read comments with other people praising the calm and soothing sound of your voice. And l admit that your voice is just one aspect of your vlogs that l look forward to each week. And l can watch the Same vlog, over and over again if it's a favorite, like at Christmas or when you are out with Luke or Kate.
If you don't know, you are about as lovable a man as there has
Ever been! Your creative talent is truly amazing!
Please take good care of yourself! Your friend in Kansas City, Tom 😃♥️♥️🍀🍀🌹🌹🌈🌈🌷🌷♥️♥️🌈🌈🍀🍀🌟🌟🌹🌹🌈🌈🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi, I’ve never been to Battersea and this place is absolutely amazing, love how they’ve styled the building!
Some great shops a little pricey but still worth a look. Glad you tried out the lift experience and I agree probably on a sunny day you’d see quite a bit. Thanks for sharing!
Happy Sunday!!
I went with my son and daughter in law and two year old grandson last November we went for the lift experience but had a few hours to spare before that I really enjoyed it seeing it through my grandsons eyes was lovely especially as the lift started to rise
There was so much going on a meet and greet with a sports influencer who’s name I can’t recall but the queues were forever they had a piano with some brilliant pianists kept my grandson quiet for ages lol as it was nearly Christmas there were outside activities like the ice rink and fair, I thought it was a lovely day out.
I love love love the new season of Sort your life out! Wait every week for the new episode 😍
Really incredible how they have built around Battersea power station. Love the exposed original brick and plaster work, looks amazing and really must go!
Thank you for showing us this 😊
Good vid !!! Would love one of the apartments .Great place to live plus shopping heaven !!!
This brings back really good memories of spending time here in December last year with my hubby. We were so lucky when we did lift 109 because London was covered in snow. ❄
Nice!
Thank you for showing us around.
We went when it had recently opened and it was very full. The building is so beautiful, we live in north London so the northern line going all the way to Battersea is such a game changer. I also went to L'Occitane and bought their classic hand cream, I've been using it since 2006 and I love it so much. I remember waiting way too long for pancakes but it looks like you won't have that problem!
Thanks for the ride with you. It was a great experience.
I always appreciate that you take us along on your experiences. Love the repurposing of old buildings. Have a great day.
Hi Ewan I really enjoyed this video of Battersea found it very interesting and appreciated your honest review. I'm Iiving in Greece now and will be visiting the UK in
May so I might put this on my list to visit. Iove old buildings. Look forward to your next vlog have a great week x
Thanks for sharing your experience. Love the fact that they have re purpose the building . Plus it's a historic building.
Great video. If anyone really wants to go up the chimney lift, prices are a bit cheaper if you book ahead, particularly after 4pm weekdays when they are £15.90 for adults.
Hi Mr. C! I remember that power station when we visited London in 2008, 2010, & 2012. I also remember how run down it looked, but my how It's changed! It is indeed massive & looks fantastic! So much better than it once was. We used to stay in the Pimlico area so Battersea Station was not too far away. Can't wait to see it when we do return again. Thanks for taking us along. Much love from Fort Worth, Texas! 😊⚘🌱
Wow! thanks for this, I never knew it had been completed. When I moved away from London it was still an empty shell! It was going to be so many things and I think to end up a shopping mall, fantastic and even though it is more high end shops, perfect for London. Amazing experience being shoved up a chimney to see the view! The outside has been done so well too I feel, very impressive. Sort of a day trip destination and spend the day exploring all that is on offer and the surroundng area. Great Vlog Iwan, thanks a lot. Have a good week to come x
Love that building ❤ when I was little I used to think that’s where all the cats and dogs lived from Battersea Dogs Home 😅
That was really interesting! Thanks for the tour! 😊♥️
Ooo would love a day around there thank you for bringing this to my attention
Thanks for the tour. I worked in Nine Elms Lane for a few years so looked forward to the renovation. It is a bit of a walk from the new tube station and you'll get soaked if it rained.Must cost a fortune to heat and light the inside. Noticed not many people about in the shopping areas. Can't see it prospering.
Thank you so much for the experience what a place, I am so grateful that you are able to take us with you, especially as I cannot get out and about now. Thank you.
It's always such a treat, when Mr. Carrington upload a video exactly when I am about to have my breakfast! Thank you!
Thing is with all these malls . There all the same shops nothing different; could be the bullring in birmingham or the Trafford centre in Manchester; imagine a large mall full of independent shops that you could buy different items in ;
Really fascinating to see inside the building. A bit pricey but then it is London! ♥
Very enjoyable, even though I don't like heights I found the viewing lift part fascinating
This must be one of your best videos. Your commentary was superb. The actual place looks amazing and definitely worth a visit. Thank you very much.😊❤️😊
What a great experience, it is huge and a great space if you love your shopping x
I think it would be better if there were more shops at a variety of price points, and more restaurants. The building is beautiful though.
I've been up the London eye a few times but I think popping out the top of that chimney is worth the effort,but yes you do get a lot of time on the eye, Thanks Mr C ,what a great tour,no expense spared in London ☺
The lift reminded me of charlie and the chocolate factory's great glass elevator, I was expecting you to take off once you got to the top 😄 Really cool experience and amazing that they saved the building and repurposed it.
I said the same to my husband. LOL
Sky Garden is free, but you have to book ahead and get amazing views of London. 😃🌻
Thank you for sharing your BPS experience. I will NOT be spat out of the top of a chimney any time soon - my stomach churned as you panned across 😑 Seems you chose a good time to checkout the shops - not too busy. Await your next video. Mittens and Pumpkin your darling kitty-kids 😊
The flowers market you pointed at is where I go every Sunday to a car boot market I love it ❤always wondered what the power station had!!! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you for the shopping center tour and for the gift of the tower visit. Your comments helps me to imagine how London looks. Wishing to come over to your country sometime. I was really confused when you said spiderman instead of superman, I had to go back to see if I had misunderstood you. Again, thanks, I really enjoyed the video.
Whenever I start missing London and ALL of my family living there, you’re there to give me a nice glimpse .. and this one was so special ! I think none of them have been there .. must tell them! Our jokes run like .. “yeah, this week there’s likely to be rain or frost or whatever … my TH-camrs were saying so” .. etc. now it’ll be “you must go to Battersea power station. Mr C said so!”
I've never been there , yet remember Boyzone being there behind the scenes of their gave it all away single . First album after the sad loss of Steven gately. Do believe others artists used it for music video's and movies even EastEnders used it as a set at some point. Lovely there now . Thankyou for sharing x
My dad was part of the team of architects that were working on making this into a them park in the 80s. It was not to be, but I have a photo of me and my brother outside with hard hats on and I rememer going up to the Control Room which, rightly, had a conservation order on it. My parents are very elderly now, but maybe we can visit...🙂
Good Sunday Morning my dear Iwan.
What a beautiful, historical building to repurpose into a shopping center. The inside is well designed and it’s nice to see some old parts of the building into the remodel. Nice shops but def more expensive .
The exterior of the building is stunning and so happy it has been saved.
You look amazing Iwan. Have a great week. Much love from Northern California. ❤❤❤
I went to the power station in November but I passed on the chimney experience. Thought it was too pricey. My friend went up and she thought it wasn’t really worth the price for the time. Loved the fact that they’ve re-purposed such an iconic landmark but the shops are all high end so too expensive for me. Still enjoyed the building though. Definitely worth a visit. 😊👍👏
Looks fabulous. Hope to get over to London some day. It has got very expensive since my last visit. Thanks for this great video.
Loved, loved , loved the lift experience …. Thank you !
Wonderful repurpose for an old building & reading the history! Loved the black and white photos as I collect postcards with black and white photos. Thank you for the tour!
I cme from south london,that building has been empty for years. They have put very expensive shops in their now.don't think much of it not for older people. Thank-you for taking us Mr C glad you enjoyed it.❤
Hi Mr C, I was there on 3/3 in the evening to see the The Light Festival before it finished on the 5th!
I’ve yet to do the Lift 109, but I’m waiting for a day off (not the weekend!) and for it to be sunny to see as far as poss! Unfortunately they have hiked the price of that as when the centre opened last October they were advertising as £19.50 which I thought was an ok price to pay. However as you’ve said it’s for the experience and I will do it this year so I can tick off the bucket list! Have a great week ahead 🙂
I'm surprised you didn't mention the curvy apartment building next to it designed by Frank Gehry! I love the renovation of the power station but most of the shops are what you can find elsewhere in London and the rest of the UK.
My dad worked in a power station further down river that looked like Battersea called Brunswick wharf. As a kid I was allowed in there to take his lunch to him. Lol. Not there now. I think it’s a DLR station.
So glad they have found another use for Battersea ps
Brilliant coming to see inside Battersea power station range of shops fantastic worth a trip.Have only ever seen it from the outside whilst on the train into Victoria from Kent, so thank you.
I was born within the sight of Battersea power station was good to see .. everything is so different
I really enjoyed your tour of the old power station. It the Tate Modern still housed in it as well? I find it so weird that so many Poms ( I’m half English) say Nike like the fish pike. It’s pronounced Ni -key. The brand gets it name from the Greek goddess Nike who was the winged goddess of victory. Athletes who wanted to win worshipped her. Even today, she has some significance to athletes. If you look carefully you may notice a striking similarity between Nike's wings and a famous swoosh symbol found on sneakers.
The Tate Modern is in a different power station on the Southbank (Southwark) 🙂
I loved the London Eye, I enjoyed every minute, whereas my wife begged me to stand still (as she sat on the bench...with white knuckles) 🤔🤭and hardly looked out of the windows🤣 Crikey I've just worked out that was 12 years ago!! We had the exact same weather as you did as you shot up the chimney😆I'm bl**dy glad it came to a halt, when it did🤣😂otherwise you'd have to have done a Clarke Kent, pants on over your trousers and tell folk it was another Superman sequel!!!😝
I went here in the half term, it was definitely busier then. It’s so posh round there and certainly very up and coming. I didn’t go up the lift but would like to do so next time even though I don’t like heights. We went to Ramseys street pizza around the corner which was also very nice. It’s nice when things get repurposed. Great video Mr C 😊
Iv loved coming around with you the buildings are amazing,stunning.thank you for taking us with you ,I never get to see London Ann uk ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧
I saw a WWII documentary, and the power plant was a bombing major target given its importance to London.
Thank you that was great
Thank you....💕
3:46 am Sunday
CALIFORNIA 🏖🇺🇸🦅
What a beautiful building, I love this! Filling this massive place with retailers, eateries, and the exhibition into the chimney, too cool! This historical building could have, like so many, become derelict, dangerous and a blight to the location. I'm not a "Mall" fan, very unamerican of me, but I'd visit there. Brilliant as you say!
This was different Mr.C. Thanks for taking us along with you. That was interesting.❤❤
I grew up in Pimlico, the power station was often a playground for us kids, they’ve done an amazing job converting it into a designer outlet shopping mall. Ashford outlet mall is pretty decent, have you been there yet ?
Not yet 😀
@@MrCarrington definitely worth a visit,
Love the Tour of the Bettersea power station. The shops etc. Awesome view from above. Thanks mrcarrington. Have a great week.
Interesting place, thank you for the tour!
Oh thank you Mr Carrington, I really enjoyed that, so interesting. Have a great Sunday 🙌🏽💫🤩x
Thank you Iwan, I’m planning a long weekend down to London may go to look round. We have done the eye several times and we definitely love that attraction but the Shard is a fantastic experience as well
A lovely way to brighten my Sunday morning. Have a great week ❤
A beautiful renovation of an iconic building...I wish some people who are lucky enough to be able to afford to live in London could venture north and see the contrast..there is hardly any money bieng spent north of the border and towns are on their knees...I dont see much "levelling up" going on and some beautiful and historic buildings are just being allowed to rot...very sad...
So true 😢
Nice vlog Mr C very interesting and enjoyable. Would love to go on the user boat ride,sounds great.. what a massive place they have built there.battersea has really gone up market now..Atrackting the younger crowd.love Jo malone shop will definitely go there.thankyou Mr C another brilliant vlog.,well done. would love to see you vist a garden centre to show some of the lovely plants and accessories on sale.thankyou.xx
Reminds me of the story by Roald Dahl The Great Glass Elevator. 😄 May be they could take the experience to the next level, with tours across London. I could just imagine the cost of that. 😬
Thanks for the tour, somewhere new to consider visiting, when I'm in London.
I haven't been there but my Grandfather worked there when it was the power station, It's good that such an iconic building has been brought back to life
Thank You Mr Carrington .I used to live in Clapham North from 1987 to 1992 😊i haven 't been back to London for quite somethimes therefore didn't know about the amazing change...
I loved your video. Interesting that so much of the original building was left to admire and make it different from ordinary shopping center.
Hi Iwan , thank you for the video, loved the content and browsing with you. Take care Gale🙏
A very interesting video Iwan...🌸🌸. Love seeing the London sights and shopping 🛍 of course at a Mall is a favourite!!💚💚
Hi Ewan, brilliant video as always I’ve been to the power station a few times now as I live not far from it. The weekend is really busy so definitely better going midweek x
That was a brilliant tour. I always remember that building as a child driving past it when I used to spend my summer holidays in London. What a fantastic idea to put a lift in one of the chimneys. Reminds me of Willy Wonka. Well worth a visit. Thank you Iwan. ❤
Amazing shopping experience and thanks for the video.😊Sure miss the UK. Cheers.!
How interesting, thank you for all of this x
I enjoyed the trip Mr C. Amazing lot of different shops . Didn't look busy glad you enjoyed the lift experience
You are so entertaining..Brilliant tour too.
Thanks Iwan for taking us shopping with you ,what a cool place ,thanks for taking us with you up the chimney . I don’t think I will ever shop in there as I stay in Glasgow, Scotland but at least I have been in virtually with you huni I really enjoyed this video ,big hugs Katie 👍😉😊🌼
Thank you for the experience
I enjoyed it seeing the old power station re invented though I wouldn’t be shopping omg prices are high
Hi Mr Carrington a great look around Battersea Power Station shopping centre. I actually work in there but haven’t had a chance to look around as yet. After watching your video I will definitely find time to explore the shopping centre as it looks really nice. I hope you have a nice Sunday and I look forward to watching your next video.
Thanks for this great video. Loved the chimney experience and the overall shopping walkabout. I remember Battersea when I was there 40 years ago. All the best from Houston Texas
Hello Mr Carrington. We’ve been inspired to visit Battersea power station after watching your vlog. We went today 12/6/23. It was amazing and enjoyed the chimney lift experience too. We’ve of never known any of it was there if it hadn’t been for you. Thank you.
Ahh fab! Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
@@MrCarrington thank you so much, and for your reply.
Great finds in the charity shop and have a happy birthday.x
I agree with that this shopping centre looks like abroad , I used to live in Spain , they got a new shopping centre built there , like this one it had cinemas, food places everything amazing , xx take care
Hi Mr c nice tour round and some nice goodies ..Nice views to although I'm not good with heights .. .very enjoyable blog . Thanks for sharing.. 👍♥️
Hi Iwan great vlog I really enjoyed it, I love hearing about the history of places, I thought the lift great I definitely wouldn't b able to go up there as I'm afraid of heights although I did walk over a glass floor in Canada, enjoy the rest of your weekend lots of love 💕💕💕
Great video Mr. C. Would enjoy seeing more like this where you show us some London scenery. Almost a mini travel vlog.
up the chimney definitely had that ''Great Glass Elevator'' vibe, up up up and OUT !!! Well that was fun, London is a real reason to travel back to Europe Helsinki is the other, from all my travels, these two cities are the dearest to me. don't @ me the the UK isn't in the EU anymore, Mexico and Canada aren't the US but it's all America.
Wow what a shopping experience. No Primark or Poundland there then ! As a child we didn't have holidays away but days out. My father would often bring us to London and Battersea Fun Fair was one our favour places to visit.
Thanks for the look-around. I LOVE your sherba coat ! !
