Everyone is familiar with the most recognisable sights around the city of London - Tower Bridge, Big Ben, The Gherkin - but travel a couple of miles up river and you come across a structure that does not enjoy the same level of adulation.

The Bankside Power Station may have had its celebrated regeneration into Tate Modern, but its former rival in Battersea stands tall and strong, eschewing all attempts over the last four decades to find it a successful new purpose.

This, however, is to the photographer's benefit. The rotting hulk of London's industrial past now allows us some stark, yet august, views of a time long past.
