Incredible pictures offer last glimpse of Battersea Power station before it becomes Apple’s London HQ

A LONDON-born photographer has released incredible shots of Battersea Power Station to record the final moments before it becomes Apple's London headquarters.

The tech firm is set to lease a whopping 500,000 square feet worth of office space, which is about 40 percent of the total contained within the stunning building.

Now Peter Dazeley, an award-winning snapper, has released a series of images showing the remains of the crumbling icon.

His images show the beautiful control rooms and abandoned spaces of the power station, which was decommissioned in 1975 and has sat unused ever since.

Apple will soon breathe new life into the facility when it opens a clean, cool office within a building which once spewed coal smog into the London air.

Some 1,400 staff are expected to move into its new premises, which is currently being constructed in and around the massive brick building.

When Apple announced its plans, Philip Hammond, the chancellor, said the move was “another vote of confidence in the UK economy”.

“Apple’s decision further strengthens London’s position as a global technology hub and demonstrates how the UK is at the forefront of the next steps in the tech revolution,” he said.

Battersea Power Station is now owned by Malaysian shareholders Sime Darby, SP Setia and The Employees Provident Fund.
