created the ‘High Line’ above New York
City’s disused railway lines, has designed the

for residents to host al fresco gatherings.
Stretching over 1,200 ft long, it will be one
of the largest roof gardens in London.

A major part of the 18 acres of open space
at the development, curated by Battersea
based Exterior Architecture and LDA
Design, is the new six-acre Power Station
Park which will sit between the Power Station CGI of
and the river. It will embody Battersea Power Switch House West
Station’s commitment to community by Roof Garden
delivering a new public park for London.
