King’s Cross is one of the largest and most successful redevelopments in London. Over the past 20 years, what was an underused industrial site has been transformed and rejuvenated with new streets, squares and parks, homes, shops, offices, galleries, bars, restaurants, schools, and even a university. 

The location, the connections, the canal-side setting, the heritage, an exciting cultural scene, a thriving business community, and a strong sense of local community. All these things come together at King’s Cross to make it unique and quite special.

Enjoy special access to Buckingham Palace with a guided tour of its magnificent State Rooms.  Buckingham Palace is one of the few working royal palaces remaining in the world today.

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.
