Work commenced in 2013 on regeneration of the area around Battersea Power Station, including shops, cafes, restaurants, art and leisure facilities, office space and residential buildings. An essential part of the work is an extension of the London Underground to service the area. The extension will branch from the Northern line at Kennington and travel west to Nine Elms and Battersea - creating two new stations. The station structure itself is expected to be repaired and secure by 2016, with completion of the whole project by late 2020.
