View from the Lift 109 elevator atop the north-western chimney of Battersea Power Station. From 109 metres above this gives panoramic views over London.
"Designed and built by Rowland Mason Ordish in 1873 as a cable-stayed bridge, it proved to be structurally unsound, so between 1884 and 1887 Sir Joseph Bazalgette incorporated some of the design elements of a suspension bridge. In 1973 the Greater London Council added two concrete piers, which transformed the central span into a simple beam bridge. As a result, today the bridge is an unusual hybrid of three different design styles. It is an English Heritage Grade II* listed building".
