London Power Stations

London Power Stations

Location possibilities for active, polluting power stations for the infrared shoot. Our goal is to contrast the colours generated by the IR camera with the gritty look of the factories to highlight the environmental impact they produce.


  • Battersea Power Station (decommissioned)
Location: 188 Kirtling St, London SW8 5BN
Fuel: Coal



Since this power station is not active anymore, it might not be suited for this experiment, but it's still worth considering. 


  • SELCHP - South East London Combined Heat & Power (active)
Location: Landmann Way, London SE14 5RS
Fuel: Waste




  • London EcoPark (active)
Location: Advent Way, London N18 3AG
Fuel: Waste




  • Riverside Resource Recovery Facility (active)
Location: Norman Road North, Belvedere DA17 6JY
Fuel: Waste




  • Greenwich Power Station (active)
Location: Old Woolwich Road, SE10
Fuel: Oil, gas and formerly coal



Might not be ideal since today it is only used as a backup power supply.


  • Lots Road Power Station (decommissioned)
Location: Lots Road, SW10 0RN
Fuel: Coal, oil, and then gas





Things to consider:

1. Access/permission

2. When the stations are going to be active

3. How to get to the locations/how far they are
