The festive season is fast approaching, and Battersea Power Station is stepping up as one of London’s most magical Christmas destinations.
From 7th November 2024 to 5th January 2025, the riverside neighbourhood will be transformed into a sparkling winter wonderland, with something for everyone to enjoy.
Expect the iconic Grade II* listed landmark to be decked out in dazzling Art Deco-inspired decorations, including a show-stopping 40ft Christmas tree in Malaysia Square, giant candy canes along Electric Boulevard, and a larger-than-life bauble installation on the riverside piazza. Perfect for snapping that festive photo.
Santa’s School for Elves is making its debut this year. Little ones can meet Santa himself and take part in activities like “Elf & Fitness” and “Arts & Elfy Crafts,” graduating with their very own Elf Academy certificate (and an official hat to match).
Adults can get into the festive spirit with a series of arts and crafts workshops, from Christmas calligraphy to table centrepiece-making with Moyses Stevens florists.
Whether you’re ticking off your Christmas shopping list or just browsing, Battersea Power Station is your one-stop festive destination. With over 150 shops, including big names like Jo Malone, LEGO®, and Rituals, alongside pop-up Christmas markets, there’s something for every budget and style:
After shopping, refuel at one of the 50+ restaurants and bars across the neighbourhood. From warming festive menus at Dishoom and El Pastor to celebratory drinks at Searcys Champagne Bar or Control Room B, there’s plenty to indulge in. Don’t miss the pop-up Christmas huts serving up seasonal treats as you explore.
The Boots presents Glide ice rink is back for its third year, offering a riverside skating experience with Battersea Power Station as your backdrop. It’s the perfect festive activity to enjoy with friends and family.
And for an extra sprinkle of magic? Head up Lift 109 to the top of the Power Station’s north-west chimney for 360-degree views of London’s Christmas lights.
Whether you’re skating, shopping, or just soaking in the festive atmosphere, Battersea Power Station has everything you need for a memorable Christmas day out. With the Northern Line and Uber Boat by Thames Clippers bringing you right to the doorstep, it couldn’t be easier to get there.
This festive season, Battersea Power Station is the place to be.
