Eagle House, Battersea and Barking

Image
Somehow magically date set up by GhOsT and Happyshoper to come and visit Battersea Power Station coincided with my birthday, i couldn't refuse and joined in :) Six people strong we did Eagle House, then five of us Battersea and only me and Katie were crazy enough to try on Barking Power Station.. Crew consisted of: myself, Subversive Photography ,  GhOsT , Happyshoper  and our guides:  Keïteï and   OliverGT . Good times, big shout to all, it has to be repeated at some point. stop number 1,  Eagle House . 26 storey skyscraper in Hackney. stop number 2,  Battersea Power Station . One of the most iconic landmarks in London, it compromises two individual power stations build in two stages in the form of a single building - Power Station A (1930s) and Power Station B (1950s) decommissioned in 1983. stop number 3,  Barking Power Station . Station has been decomissioned by the end of 1980s and have since been demolished...

St George Tower

After a day of exploring we had some extra time to spent in London, just enough for a little mooch. After failing to get somewhere else, we noticed this tower and crane from the distance, and as we haven't done high stuff before, decided to give it a go, and it was well worth it. info:  St George Tower, also known as the The Tower, is a residential skyscraper under construction in Vauxhall, London, as part of the St George development. When built, it will be 181 metres (594 ft) tall with 49 storeys, making it the tallest residential building in the United Kingdom. We managed to climb up to 22 storey and that's where the construction ends at the moment, so revisit is quite possible.
