LIFT 109 - Battersea Power Station - THE FULL GUIDE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- London's newest viewing platform, Lift 109 at Battersea Power Station, Now open for you to enjoy and experience. So join Yhana and I as we board the glass elevator and ascend one of Battersea Power stations iconic chimneys and take a 360 view of London’s skyline.
In this video we are going to show everything you will expect from this incredible new attraction.
Lift 109 has taken up residence in the most north-westerly of Battersea Power Station's four iconic chimneys, whizzing you up through the centre of the shaft and out into the sky above.
As part of this attraction and even before you step onboard Lift 109, there’s a small exhibition detailing the history of Battersea Power Station, everything from construction, the second world war, and its most recent relaunch as a high end shopping centre.
At the far end of the exhibition you will discover that a screen counts down to the next lift ride, these doors will unexpectedly swing open allowing you to enter a darkened room.
This room is designed as an immersive light show experience showcasing the building's industrial history.
Once you have completed this interesting light show, two regular metal lifts open their doors and swallow visitors. Don't be disappointed - these aren't the lift, just a method to convey you up a few more floors.
Once you step through these lifts, it's time to look up, through the glass ceiling and get a glimpse of the chimney you will soon be ascending.
From this point of your journey there is a short spiral staircase of 39 steps to the main lift. There is a step free alternative but you will need to book this in advance.
Lift 109 itself is a circular glass lift, and will offer 360° views, and there's even a wooden bench in the centre for anyone who wishes to remain seated.
The ascent begins, taking you up close and personal from the inside of that world-famous chimney. Look up through the lift's glass ceiling to see the seriously awe-inspiring sight of the shaft illuminated in a futuristic light show.
Though expected, the emergence from the chimney into the sky above feels sudden, Do not doubt as to whether the lift will actually stop or not, it will, you are not about to have your very own Roald Dahl’s Great Glass Elevator moment. Although, I wouldn’t say no to a ride like that.

This was a fascinating tour. I hadn't realized that Battersea Power Station had opened this fabulous attraction. The light show was fun and it looked like an amazing experience to be launched up the chimney to the stunning rooftop view. Wow!! Thank you for the fantastic tour, Stephen and Yhana! 👍🤗💕
Thank you Julie and Lucy, for your very lovely comment 😊 sending our best and catch up soon 😊
What a view and such a good way to make use of an old building!!😊Robbie
Thank you Robbie, it’s taken decades for them to decide on what to do with this site. I think they have done an amazing job though 😊
Thanks for sharing this adventure. That was pretty cool. So high and such a great view too. Too bad you can only be up there for about 10 minutes. I was thinking the entire time, this is like a scene from Willy Wonka. When Charlie shoots out the roof in a glass elevator! LOL. Take care and have a great day.
Hi Steve, I thought the same thing whilst I was in this elevator lol 😆 it was a wonderful trip out and one that Yhana got a lot out of too 😊 I think people of all ages would love this experience 😊
This is so high on our list! Thank you for the sneak peak!
Your very welcome guys, you will enjoy the experience 😊 I’m sure of it 😊

Thank you buddy for the lovely comment 😊 sending our best and catch up soon 😊
Stephen and Yhana, I thought you'd fallen off the YT wagon. No messages to say you posted a video yet the bell is on! Well, I am determined to catch up. What a winner in terms of a draw card. How absolutely fascinating. And then the reward after the climb - wow what a view. Stunning doesn't even cover it. Oh and Yhana, you are looking lovely and it won't be long and you'll be as tall as Stephen. Thanks for this lovely share....🌷🇳🇱🙋♀🇳🇿 👌
So cool getting to see the new attraction so soon after it opened. I enjoyed hearing about the lift - the museum section looks like it had a good amount of history, too! 😊
Thank you Donna, we really enjoyed this experience 😊 It took a lot of waiting online to get tickets though, but it was well worth it 😊 catch up soon
I’m glad they finally done something with this location. I grew up in London and lived there for about 27 years, I remember it being empty for a very long time. Such an interesting place so glad it has been repurposed. Thanks for sharing this it’s great to see what it’s like now 😊
Thank you Yasmin, how cool to have lived in London for so long. Although I can see why you enjoy the tranquility of hiking so much. After all that busy way of life in London.
I’m not to keen on huge crowds, Battersea was fine though, but we went into the west end afterwards and it was mayhem lol 😆
The lift though was amazing
@@StephenandYhana haha yep I loved growing up there but I only go back now to visit family, otherwise I love the quiet countryside and mountain tops 😀 I bet it was at west end!
Hi Stephen and Yhana! What an amazing ride! Great to see what they've done with the overall Battersea site too👍 All the best and take care 👍😊
Thank you Des, sending our best and catch up soon buddy 😊

Wow! This was an exciting trip to the top of one of Battersea's PS's famous chimneys. Like Dahl's 'Glass Elevator' indeed! Wonderful trip Stephen and Yhana! Great stuff, take care, Paul.

Thank you kindly and greetings in return 😊😊
Hi Stephen and Yhana. It’s nice what they did with the power station, it reminds me of the one in Niagara Falls. Interesting that there’s a shopping mall in such a intriguing place. Pretty cool to take a ride to the top of the chimney. Really nice views of the city. Thanks for the very nice tour guys. 👍😊🇨🇦
Thanks for sharing! Have a nice day and be safe, dear my friend!
Thank you kindly 😊
Hi Stephen and Yhana,
How exciting! I hope you don't have Acrophobiae 0:32.This is an impressive modern design, Lift 109.
The high-end shopping center entices more visitors to the tower, especially since Xmas is around the corner and Visual digital display is to the young generations. 2:55
I wonder if the109 ride has a glass floor? So all of the 3 rest of the towers offer the same ride as well?
I hope this Lift 109 energizes the UK economy some how. Thank you very much.
Hey buddy, only one of the chimneys has a lift and sadly there isn’t a glass floor. Although that would have been pretty cool if there was. The whole experience was amazing and Yhana thoroughly enjoyed it too 😊 she was filming away and snapping photos to her hearts content lol 😆 catch up soon buddy
@@StephenandYhana 👍👍👩🚀👩🚀🚀🚀
I would absolutely love this viewpoint, but i know many doesnt like to be so high up :D
It was a wonderful view point, I’m not a great lover with heights, but this didn’t phase me at all. It was worth the experience for sure 😊
Wow that was good so high xxx
Thank you, it was a lot of fun and Yhana enjoyed it a lot xx
Wow, what a place !
