Re: Battersea Power Station Hotel

Gosh I won't be staying there that's for sure

I would have to be dragged kicking and screaming to set foot in London, give me a cow shed in the countryside any day

Re: Battersea Power Station Hotel

I doubt if it will be the locals who will be using that area Meg. It's going to be for those who would never dream of asking "how much does it cost to stay there"

Re: Battersea Power Station Hotel

Some years ago when I worked in Turin, I stayed in a hotel that was part of the original FIAT factory. It still had the banked test track on the roof. Glad they didn't still test cars on it !!

Meg, I'm not a fan of London either, but the idea sounds fine to me. Best use existing architecturally interesting buildings than build new ones.

Re: Battersea Power Station Hotel

The idea is ok George if you have a head for hight and a full wallet and I am not averse to a little luxury in my country cowshed. I just wouldn't want to stay in London or the hotel if you paid me ...
