AboutAbout Control Room B

Control Room B is a one-of-a-kind cocktail bar set within a meticulously restored 1950s control room inside Battersea Power Station. Surrounded by original dials, glowing synchroscopes, and polished steel switchgear that once powered a fifth of London, this atmospheric venue blends industrial heritage with retro-futuristic glamour. The signature cocktail menu takes inspiration from the Power Station's electric past, with serves like the Synchroscope, Ammeter, and Voltmeter alongside craft beers, wines, and champagne.

Guests appreciate the unique setting overlooking Turbine Hall B, where soaring architecture and art deco details create a backdrop unlike any other bar in London. The venue offers immersive experiences including an audio-guided tour of the Power Station's history and the Escape the Power Cut challenge, making it perfect for group visits and special occasions. Light bites and bar snacks complement the drinks menu throughout the day.

Dogs are welcome all day long, with water bowls and treats available for four-legged guests. The wheelchair-accessible venue makes an excellent stop after exploring Battersea Power Station or a riverside walk, offering both indoor seating amongst the control panels and proximity to outdoor spaces.
