Go back to the 1950s with cocktails at Battersea Power Station

South London is set to get an exciting new cocktail bar in October with a unique theme. Control Room B opens on 14th October in Battersea Power Station, part of a new complex of shops and eateries. The bar is set in one of the power station’s original control rooms, untouched since the 1950s. Sadly we can’t promise 1950s prices but if you enjoy drinks in a unique setting, this is one for you.

As well as the original control desks and switch dials in the space, you’ll also see mid-century glassware and furniture to transport you back in time. Bar staff will be dressed in boiler suits just in case you’re still in any doubt about where you are. Guests will be able to enjoy this one-of-a-kind space throughout the day, with hot drinks, pastries, snacks, and champagne available. In the evening, a supercharged selection of 10 premium cocktails will be available to get the party started.

You’ll be able pop in just for a drink at this historic venue but events bookings will also be welcomed. If you really want a party to remember, you can hire the whole venue too. Whatever the occasion, Control Room B is bringing a very unusual bar experience to the capital.
