	Power for London's Transport
		Nowadays, there are newer and more powerful plants for generating electricity in the straggling area known as London; but whenever the phrase "power station," is mentioned, nearly all Londoners connect it instinctively with the building in Lots Road, Chelsea, which, year in and year out, has efficiently supplied the electricity for their transport.
		Lots Road Power Station may be described as a huge machine into which coal enters at one end to emerge as electricity at the other.
		For more than thirty years Lots Road Power Station has been one of the most important buildings in London.

	"Going Underground"
		Power Stations were built at Neasden, Greenwich, Hoxton and Lot's Road.
		Originally, the station was coal powered, coal being brought up the Thames on special barges, but was converted to run on heavy fuel oil in the 1960's (piped in from the nearby Fulham Gas Works).
		The station at Lot's Road complemented it's sister station at Neasden, built on the banks of the River Brent in 1903 (Between 1940 and 1945, although he tried, Hitler missed them BOTH).

	The Observer Food monthly Interiors: Victorian power stations
		Lots Road's sister station in Greenwich will continue to do what it was designed to do in 1906.
		The station, which opened in 1905 and still supplies 75 per cent of the power that runs the London Underground, is the oldest power station in the world still operating in its original building.
		When Lots Road shudders to a halt in September 2002, the architect Terry Farrell will begin work on a project with a budget of £350m to create an all-singing, all-dancing, ultra-modern 'extended urban quarter'.

	HSS Lots Road Power Station Visit
		At Lots Road, a supply main was installed from the Fulham gas storage plant to a pressure regulating and metering station on the south side of the Creek.
		Completion of the Lots Road modernisation programme in 1969 resulted in the power system being supplied from two sources independent of the National Grid for the Underground sections and from a bulk supply on the grid at Neasden for the surface section, in accordance with the recommendations of the 1960 report.
		The general strike of 1926, when the power station was manned by naval personnel, had drawn attention to the risk of the underground associated with its independent power supply system at a non-standard frequency.

	London power blackout and the cost of privatisation
		The Lots Road Power Station in the wealthy Chelsea area supplied electricity to London Underground for most of the last century.
		This fuelled calls for the closure of the Lots Road facility and in October 2002, power was turned off and the national grid assumed responsibility for powering the Underground.
		Construction of the Lots Road facility began in 1902 to provide power for the Metropolitan Railway and the Metropolitan District Railway (now the Metropolitan and District lines on London Underground) in readiness for the change to electrified lines, and from steam to electric trains.

	Taylor Woodrow Financial Press Releases
		The one hundred year old Lots Road power station is one of the three original river-side power stations in central London and currently provides 60% of the Underground’s electricity requirement.
		The 1.5 million sq ft (135,000 sq m) scheme, including retention and conversion of the power station as well as twelve new buildings, will provide 498 private residential apartments and 368 affordable homes, with 105,000 sq ft (9,683 sq m) of commercial space.
		At the heart of the scheme will be the power station with a covered pedestrianised public street, 450 feet (137m) long, containing essential neighbourhood-type shops, some commercial space, a heritage centre and loft apartments above.

		The Lots Road site was not an easy one to photograph - there was no mast or tower, just a wire aerial strung between the chimneys of London Transport's power station in Chelsea.
		The power station, which provides power to much of London's Underground rail system, is due to be decommissioned.
		These stations were broadcast from here for 18 months or so until the IBA completed the permanent site at Saffron Green, near Barnet in Hertfordshire.

		In addition, many stations' walls are decorated in tile motifs that are unique to the station, such as profiles of Sherlock Holmes ' head at the Baker Street station or a cross containing a crown at the King's Cross station.
		Zones 1 to 6 cover all of Greater London and a few extra stations; the remaining zones are named A, B, C and D, of which zone D is the most remote and consists of Amersham and Chesham out in the Chiltern Hills on the Metropolitan Line.
		Each station displays the Underground logo containing the station's name in place of the word "Underground", both at entrances to the station and repeatedly along the station walls so that they can easily be seen by passengers on arriving trains.

	Taylor Woodrow Press Release Archive
		A joint venture company owned by Taylor Woodrow and Hutchison Whampoa Properties has submitted planning proposals to develop the Lots Road power station site, one of the three original riverside power stations in central London, it was announced today (Tuesday 12 June 2001).
		The application includes retention of the Victorian brick-built power station building, which has supplied electricity to London’s underground for nearly a hundred years, with a public street similar in size to the main hall at Tate Modern and a public viewing tower at the top of one of the two chimneys.
		They form a powerful visual grouping with the power station as well as enhancing the existing cluster of tall structures in the area including the gasometers, residential towers at World’s End, Chelsea Harbour and Montevetro across the river, as well as those proposed at Imperial Wharf."

	ABB helps to improve London Undergroundâs power supply
		As a direct result of the project London Underground is now able to draw all the power required for all its surface and underground trains from the National Grid which is a considerably higher reliability source, and this has facilitated the closure of the old Lots Road power station, Chelsea.
		The size of the London Underground, which serves 270 stations and over 250 miles of track, combined with the nature of the train loads with large numbers accelerating and braking at any one time made the project one of the most complex reactive power compensation studies ever undertaken.
		A Â£60 million âPower Qualityâ variation to the original PFI contract was agreed and the majority of the specialist work was awarded to ABB who carried out a series of extensive studies of the existing electrical system.

	Future Space: The Road to Completion
		So far, the infant station is a relatively small two-roomer made up of a Russian space tug and a U.S. docking module that eventually will serve as a passageway to various parts of the outpost.
		Considered critical to space station assembly, the robot arm is 56 feet (17 meters) long and will be capable of moving end-over-end to different work sites at the growing outpost.
		Some 85 percent of all U.S. station hardware now is on-site here at Kennedy Space Center, and as soon as the long-delayed Russian Zvezda service module is launched, NASA plans to start sending up shuttle construction crews about once every six weeks.

	UK Radio History 3, Commercial Radio, ILR, Capital Radio, By Mike Smith
		The last ILR station to launch was Beacon Radio, serving Wolverhampton and the Black Country, on 12th April 1976 from studios on Tettenhall Road in Wolverhampton on 303 metres (989 kHz) medium wave from a trannsmitter at Sedgley and 97.2 MHz VHF from a transmitter on Turners Hill.
		At this time pirate station Radio Veronica had been broadcasting from the North Sea on 557 KHz, so listeners to Veronica were not at all pleased when Capital Radio arrived on the same channel, effectively ending the reception of Veronica around the capital.
		It is expected that 38 Independent Local Radio stations will be on air by the end of 1982, five new stations having been added during the year broadcasting to communities in and around Inverness, Bury St. Edmunds, Swindon / West Wiltshire, Hereford/Worcester, and Preston and Blackpool.

	Kentish Town - Enpsychlopedia
		South Kentish Town tube station was closed in June 1924 after strike action at the Lots Road power station meant the lift could not be used.
		Kentish Town was a prime site for development as the Kentish Town Road was the main route for the growing city of London to the South.
		The early 19th century brought a lot of modernisation, causing a lot of the area's rural charm, the River Fleet and the 18th century buildings to vanish, although pockets still remain, for example Little Green Street.
