The building comprises two power stations, built in two stages in a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built in the 1930s and Battersea B Power Station, to its east, in the 1950s. They were built to a near-identical design, providing the four-chimney structure.

The Power Station was decommissioned between 1975 and 1983.

The station is one of the world’s largest brick buildings.
