Cocktails among the restored 1950s switchgear of the original Battersea Power Station control room — and the setting genuinely is the original, magnificent panels and switches and all. The drinks are solid across the board, but you come for the room: industrial scale, period detail, and light pouring through the great windows at sunset, which is the time to book. It is popular, so reserve ahead, and it is worth the trip south of the river. Few bars anywhere can offer a setting with this much genuine history and drama — a piece of London's industrial past you can drink inside.
