‘The Donald Trump of ancient Egypt’: Ramses II’s ego is on full display in new exhibition

Battersea Power Station now

It was with a little trepidation that I visited Battersea Power Station the other day. I knew it had been converted into a shopping centre, and had all sort of visions of the horrors that awaited me. I shouldn’t have worried, because I think they did a good job. The industrial, art deco, nature of the building has been preserved, with quite a lot of stuff left in place.

I didn’t get any photos of the old control room, which has been converted into a cocktail bar, but with all the controls, gauges etc left. I couldn’t afford a drink there.
