It’s all go, go, go at the power station; keys for an Apple HQ will be handed over this summer and the Northern Line Zone 1 extension is planned for Autumn, adding a ‘Battersea Power Station’ sized addition to the familiar London tube map. A true destination, the power station is already home to a branch of Chelsea-favourite Megan’s in the first completed chapter of the regeneration project, as well as much-loved florist, Moyses Stevens, and a ‘general store’ replete with luxury, artisanal goods.

The River Cafe interior
Design has always been integral to The River Cafe’s identity, right back to the earliest stages of its conception. Founded by Ruth Rogers (now Lady Rogers CBE) and the late Rose Gray in 1987, the two women changed the London restaurant scene forever with their elegant, unfussy take on regional Italian cooking – and refreshing approach to how the dining experience should look and feel.
Ruth (or Ruthie, as she’s widely known) has been married to the celebrated architect Lord Rogers for almost 50 years. The man behind such notable projects as Paris’s Centre Pompidou, the Lloyd’s building and the Millenium Dome, he also famously designed The River Cafe site, transforming a disused warehouse next to his own riverside offices. His slick, functionalist aesthetic is a unifying thread that runs throughout the restaurant to this day.
racial terminology
A person’s race should only be included if relevant to the story. The words black and Asian should not be used as nouns, but as adjectives: black people rather than “blacks”, an Asian woman rather than “an Asian”, etc.
Say African-Caribbean rather than Afro-Caribbean.
Use the word “immigrant” with great care, not only because it is often incorrectly used to describe people who were born in Britain, but also because it has been used negatively for so many years. If relevant, say people are “children of immigrants”, not “second-generation immigrants”
