A glass elevator that will travel 109m to the top of one of Battersea Power Station’s chimneys is to be constructed as part of the £9bn development.
The so-called Chimney Lift, to be built in the north west chimney, will also feature a viewing platform at the top, offering views of the capital’s skyline.
Visitors will travel up the interior of the chimney in the custom-built glass elevator to the 109m-high summit.
