Film location and production space company, Location Collective, has been appointed as a filming partner for the restored Battersea Power Station.
The appointment of Location Collective is part of Battersea Power Station’s return to filming following an extensive eight year restoration– which saw the Grade II listed landmark open to the public for the first time in October 2022.
Originally a coal-fired power station, Battersea Power Station closed down in 1983 and has appeared in multiple film and photography productions including Pink Floyd’s Animals album cover (1977), Superman (1983), Ian McKellen’s Richard III (1995), The Dark Knight (2008) and The King’s Speech (2011) amongst other high-profile productions.
James Hanford, Head of Acquisitions at Location Collective said: “We are incredibly proud to be working with this London landmark location, to bring a range of feature film, television, and photographic hires over the coming years. In our 17-year history we have brought filming to some of the capital’s most iconic, historic and prominent properties, and we are very excited to get to work alongside the team at Battersea Power Station at what is arguably the most recognisable of them all.”
Sam Cotton, Head of Asset Management at Battersea Power Station Development Company, said: “Our partnership with Location Collective is an exciting opportunity to expand filming at Battersea Power Station, as a new generation of artists and filmmakers are inspired by the neighbourhood. The regeneration of the landmark has retained and restored the heritage elements of the building, whilst new retail and leisure uses within the Power Station, and contemporary architecture which surround the landmark, create a unique and eye-catching environment to film within. We look forward to continuing Battersea Power Station’s legacy as a hub for art, culture and film.”
