About this deal
In the sequel to Roald Dahl’s ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’, Charlie and his great uncle board a big see-through lift that pings them right into space. This one’s not quite as thrilling (or scary), but soon you’ll be able to ride a panoramic glass lift all the way to the top of Battersea Power Station’s chimney.
Jump up So far we know Lift 109 opens in the autumn but there’s not an exact date, and prices have yet to be revealed. The ‘great glass elevator’ isn't quite as lofty as the Shard, London Eye or Sky Garden, but it’s got a good claim to be London’s most exciting chimney.Your skyward odyssey will begin at the Power Station’s Art Deco Turbine Hall A, where there’s an interactive exhibition with artefacts and multi-media displays about the building’s history. Then, a constellation of lights will guide you as you ascend the big chimney all the way to the top. Photograph: Battersea Power Station
