About Lift 109

At Lift 109, the ride is half the fun. Inside Battersea Power Station’s chimney, a glass elevator slowly climbs to a viewing platform with 360 degree London views, after interactive displays walk you through the site’s history and transformation.

Why visit Lift 109?

Ride a glass elevator inside a chimney

Lift 109 is not an ordinary elevator ride. A glass lift travels up the inside of Battersea Power Station’s chimney, turning the ascent itself into part of the attraction with glowing lights and a clear sense of height.

See London from a rare viewpoint

At 109 meters high, the viewing platform reveals wide panoramas of London’s skyline. Spot the Thames winding through the city along with famous landmarks like the London Eye and the Shard from a completely new angle.

Learn the story behind the power station

Before the ride, interactive displays in Turbine Hall A explain how Battersea Power Station was built in the 1930s and how it powered London for decades before becoming the lively destination visitors see today.

Enjoy a quick attraction with big payoff

The entire experience usually takes under an hour, making it easy to fit into a day of exploring London. In a short visit, you get history, an exciting lift ride, and impressive skyline views.

Visit one of London’s newest attractions

Opened in late 2022, Lift 109 is one of the newest viewing experiences in the city. The modern design, interactive exhibits, and unique location inside the chimney make it feel fresh compared to traditional viewpoints.
