Red Bull X-Fighters at Battersea Power Station
August 24th 2009 04:31
London's Battersea Power Station is a marvellous Art Deco building near the Thames. No longer in service as a power station, it has survived from year to year, through various proposals for repurposing and redevelopment. On August 22, 2009, the international tour of the Red Bull X-Fighters (trick motorcycle riding to me!) performed to a crowd of about 17,000 people.
It's wonderful that so many got to visit this building. I have to say, I've always loved it, even before I found out what it was.
Here's a little bit of info about it from the Victoria & Albert Museum, as part of their web pages about Art Deco Buildings in London.
