Located on Akerman Road, SW9, this was originally known as the Myatt’s Fields North Boiler House, which rather gives the game away about its purpose. Designed by Michael Luffingham when he was at Lambeth Borough Council it was designed and constructed between 1974 -1979.
It’s a rather splendid, eccentric, structure which rather dominates the quiet road it is situated in. It was upgraded with (amongst other things) taller conning towers, ah, sorry, chimneys back in 2013, reinforcing its submarine like appearance.
You can see its original appearance, and a look inside by clicking here.
I’ve played around with the images for this and you can see a few variations below. Do you have a preference?
