Conveniently situated on the South Bank of the Thames and overlooking the Houses of Parliament, Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London is an iconic hotel featuring contemporary design, stylish rooms, and an array of restaurants and bars.

Six nights’ accommodation at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London is included for delegates on the tour.

At its peak, Battersea Power Station was supplying a fifth of London’s electricity. After decades of sitting derelict, it is now open to the public as one of London’s most exciting and innovative new destinations. The very building which once produced the energy that enabled people to eat, drink, shop and play in the City, now provides the venue for a new generation to do the same.

Following a briefing with Honor Fishburn we will tour the heritage listed Battersea Power Station and surrounding precincts, touring the mixed-use residential and community development spanning 42 acres of central riverside land. Delegates will learn about the master planning of the site, the complex transformation of the power station, the cultural offerings, the transport orientated infrastructure and the many exciting tenants who now call Battersea Power Station home.

Delegates will also take in an aerial view of the site through Lift 109, an immersive heritage experience climbing 109 metres to the top of the north-west chimney where they will take in the stunning 360-degree view of London’s skyline.
