I'd seen shots of this eye-catching hoarding on flickr, Instagram etc but still had no idea where it was located. When I went exploring the new Battersea development back in July it was therefore a pleasant surprise to stumble across it. Unfortunately being there quite early on a Saturday morning meant that there were few passersby so despite waiting quite a while I was limited by a lack of interesting subjects (victims ?).
I'm looking forward to returning to explore the area again sometime soon as new parts are opening up all the time.
We're holding our next London Photowalk on Sunday 24th October (tomorrow !) if you're interested in coming along. Click here for more details :

From Wikipedia : "Construction work on Phase 1, called Circus West Village, designed by architects SimpsonHaugh and dRMM, is being undertaken by Carillion and commenced in 2013 alongside work on the Power Station. Phase 1 was completed in 2017, with the Northern line extension and its new Battersea Power Station terminus anticipated to be completed in 2021. Circus West Village now has over 1500 residents and over 23 restaurants, cafes and retailers now open.
WilkinsonEyre was appointed in 2013 to carry out the restoration of the Grade II* listed Power Station. Work commenced in 2013 and plans included the restoration of the art deco structure internally and externally, reconstruction of the chimneys, and refurbishment of the historic cranes and jetty as a new river taxi stop. Restoration work on the power station's chimneys was completed in 2017. In 2019, the jetty in front of the power station opened to the public for the first time in its history. Retail brands set to open outlets inside the power station include Hugo Boss, Jo Malone London, Uniqlo, Mac Cosmetics, Space NK, Finlay & Co and Watches of Switzerland. In May 2021, the first residents moved into their new homes at the power station. As part of the development, a 200-seat theatre, the Turbine Theatre, was established in railway arches under the Grosvenor Bridge in September 2019.
In October 2013, Frank Gehry was appointed joint architect with Foster + Partners to design "Phase 3" of the scheme, which will provide "the gateway to the entire development and the new Northern line extension"
