I am an art historian and I have been staying in London for a couple of days. When I got to Gatwick airport, I saw this gorgeous power station from Gatwick express. Looks like ironic postmodern architecture with its four white doric columns on red brick architecture, but it must be erected at the beginning of the 20th century (1916-22?), I suppose. Does anybody know anything about this powerstation, its name, its architect and its history? Thanks to all art historians and industrial architecture lovers!
