It is the last opportunity for visitors to Battersea Power Station to see the giant Art Deco structure before it undergoes a multimillion-pound redevelopment across the full site.

The power station is one of 700 places being opened up to visitors as part of the Open House project.

Those on the list include the King's Cross Station clock tower, Dr Johnson's house - where he compiled his famous Dictionary of the English Language - and several embassies.
