Back down in Turbine Hall A — the older of the turbine halls (‘B’ was finished in the 1950s) — daylight is less of an issue, as the inherited roof structure is more welcoming to the sun. Here, the Art Deco finishes have been preserved and restored. Completed in the early ‘30s, the hall is filled with ornate motifs of the era, most notably seen with tile-clad fluted pilasters. For a moment, you may forget this space was a giant whirring generator; how charming to give such a titan of industry such delightful decoration.
The turbine halls comprise the retail hub of the complex and shopfronts have been ensconced by bronze surrounds to protect the restored tilework. The floor also alludes to the project’s past, with brickwork outlining the footprint of the former turbine.
Above the retail levels are offices, the biggest tenant being Apple which occupies 46,000 square metres across six floors. At the heart of all this is a six-storey-high atrium which lets light in and affords views of the chimneys above. A lovingly restored switch room, open to the public (but mainly used for private events) is a must-see which looks as if it has plucked from a sci-fi set, displaying alien-like symbols above dials and knobs above which phrases such as “Carnaby Street” are emblazoned, outlining where said power is headed to.
