The shops inside Battersea Power Station open 10am to 8pm Monday to Saturday and noon to 6pm on Sunday, while the bars, restaurants, cinema and the Lift 109 chimney experience keep their own, longer hours into the evening. Below you will find the full weekly schedule, Sunday and bank-holiday details, the festive pattern for Christmas 2026, a verified guide to the shops and restaurants, and how to arrive by Tube, rail or river.
Battersea Power Station is the regenerated riverside district in south-west London built around the Grade II*-listed power station, which reopened in October 2022 after a long restoration. The Turbine Halls and Boiler House inside the building, the Arches at Circus West Village and the newer Electric Boulevard together hold more than 100 shops, restaurants and bars, alongside the Apple campus, a cinema, a riverside park and Lift 109, the glass lift that rises through one of the chimneys.
Battersea Power Station Opening Times
The headline hours below cover the shops inside the Power Station building. Cafes, bars, restaurants, the cinema and Lift 109 generally open earlier and close later, so an evening at Battersea need not end when the boutiques pull down their shutters.
| Day | Shop opening hours |
|---|---|
| Monday | 10.00am – 8.00pm |
| Tuesday | 10.00am – 8.00pm |
| Wednesday | 10.00am – 8.00pm |
| Thursday | 10.00am – 8.00pm |
| Friday | 10.00am – 8.00pm |
| Saturday | 10.00am – 8.00pm |
| Sunday | 12.00pm – 6.00pm |
Correct as of June 2026. Hours are set by the operator and by individual retailers, and a few brands trade slightly longer. Please check the official Battersea Power Station website before a special trip.
Saturday
Saturday is the longest and busiest shopping day, running 10am to 8pm. The first ninety minutes after opening are the calmest, and the quietest time to ride Lift 109 before the queues form. With the riverside park on the doorstep, Battersea makes for a gentler family Saturday than a conventional enclosed mall.
Battersea Power Station Shops on Sunday: Opening Hours
On Sunday the shops trade noon to 6pm. Those six hours are not an accident of scheduling: under the Sunday Trading Act, any shop larger than 280 square metres may open for only six consecutive hours, so most large retailers settle on an 11am-to-5pm or noon-to-6pm window. Smaller boutiques may choose to open a little earlier, and the restaurants, the cinema, the riverside walk and Lift 109 all keep longer Sunday hours, filling up over lunch and through the afternoon. Sunday is the calmer day for browsing; arrive close to noon and the Turbine Halls are at their most peaceful.

Easter Opening Times and Bank Holidays
Bank holiday Mondays, including the spring and summer holidays, usually run the standard 10am-to-8pm hours. Over Easter 2027, Good Friday (26 March), Easter Saturday (27 March) and Easter Monday (29 March) trade as normal; Easter Sunday (28 March) is closed for larger shops by law, as it is for big retailers across England and Wales, though the restaurants and the riverside stay open.
Shops at Battersea Power Station
The line-up runs to more than 100 shops and restaurants across the Power Station building, Circus West Village and Electric Boulevard, and skews more premium than a typical high street. The selection below is drawn from the operator’s current directory; for the complete, up-to-the-day list, the official store directory is the place to check.

Apple Battersea occupies much of the restored Boiler House, alongside the Marks & Spencer Foodhall, Uniqlo, Zara and Zara Home, Mango and Waterstones.

Food, drink and leisure
The dining is the genuine evening draw. Sit-down restaurants include Cinnamon Kitchen for modern Indian, the riverside Italian Fiume, the ramen specialist Tonkotsu and Wagamama, with cafes and quick bites throughout the building and along the arches. The Cinema in the Power Station and Lift 109, the glass-lift chimney experience, are both inside the main building.
Battersea Power Station Late Night Shopping
The shops trade until 8pm Monday to Saturday, and the last couple of hours, from around 6pm, are the calmest of the day for the boutiques. The real after-dark life, though, is in the restaurants, bars, cinema and Lift 109, which run well into the evening; book a table after browsing and the whole district works as an evening out. The one period of genuinely extended shop hours is the December festive run, when many days stretch to 9pm.
