About the Event
The area south of the River Thames opposite Westminster and Chelsea has transformed quickly. A pivotal moment was when the Americans decided to locate their new embassy building in Nine Elms. Another important step forward was taken when Damien Hirst set up a gallery, including a restaurant called Pharmacy, opposite the railway arches in Vauxhall. The area is slowly becoming a “happening place” and includes art galleries, various restaurants under the refurbished railway arches and two new tube stations.
The tour takes about 2 hours and we end up at the Battersea Power Station. If you would like to go up the chimney lift afterwards please book https://lift109.co.uk
If you fancy lunch there are plenty of options. The newly opened roof terrace of the art’otel is a fun place and has a rooftop bar and restaurant with great views, there are two bars, one on roof (16th floor) and one on the 15th floor next to the restaurant called Joia, book https://artotellondonbattersea.com/restaurants-and-bars/
