Lots Road Power Station which was commissioned in 1905, is a disused coal and later oil-fired and later gas-fired power station on the River Thames at Lots Road in Chelsea, London in the south-west of The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It supplied electricity to the London Underground system. It was decommissioned in 2002.
Battersea Bridge is a five-span arch bridge with cast-iron girders and granite piers crossing the River Thames in London, England. It was opened in 1890 and is situated on a sharp bend in the river, and links Battersea south of the river with Chelsea to the north. The architect was Joseph Bazalgette.
