lots road power station

Lots Road power station was a coal-fired power station adjacent to the River Thames in Lots Road near Victoria railway station in London, England which supplied electric power to the London Underground system. Construction started in 1902 in order to provide power to the Metropolitan Railway (now Metropolitan Line) and the Metropolitan District Railway (now the District Line) to allow them to change from steam to electric powered trains. Completed in 1905, it was claimed at that time to be the largest power station ever built. In continuous operation until being shutdown on 21 October 2002, power for the tube system is now supplied by the National Grid. The main building has been converted into apartments. The site was adjacent to the Cremorne Pleasure Gardens.
