Popped in here to pick up some lunch from the many street food stalls inside this complex last time I visited and take in the views from the roof terrace. No food stalls and roof terrace shut for the foreseeable future so a bit of a disappointing visit. Nevertheless had some fun taking photos of the staircase inside the complex and picked up a lovely sandwich in M&S!!

Tate Modern has named its new extension the Blavatnik Building, after the USSR-born billionaire oligarch Len Blavatnik, who made one of the largest donations in Tate’s history.
The building opened in June 2016 and had been temporarily named Switch House, after the part of the old power station where the new galleries stand.
Blavatnik was named the UK’s richest man in 2015, with an estimated wealth of more than £17.1bn, which was accumulated through investment initially in chemicals and oil, but has since expanded into property, music and film.
He made the Tate pledge in 2011. Government and local authority grants for the new galleries totalled £58m and the Blavatnik Family Foundation’s donation made up a substantial amount of the £260m total needed to complete it. Since its opening, the Tate Modern extension has received more than 6 million visitors.
The Tate’s departing director, Nicholas Serota, said: “The generosity of this gift is almost unprecedented in Tate’s history.
“Len Blavatnik’s enthusiastic support ensured the successful realisation of the project and I am delighted that the new building now bears his name.”
