KUALA LUMPUR: The Battersea Power Station development in London was given a boost as the new Northern Line Extension (NLE) opened on Monday. BPS has contributed over £300mil to the NLE which runs from Kennington to Battersea Power Station via Nine Elms and has enabled the regeneration of both these areas. Chairman of Battersea Power Station Development Company Datuk Wong Tuck Wai said this new mode of transport is a game-changer for Battersea and Nine Elms and undoubtedly makes Battersea Power Station one of the most well-connected destinations in the capital. CEO of Battersea Power Station Development Company, Simon Murphy said the launch of the Northern line extension is a major milestone in the regeneration of Battersea Power Station. Once open to the public next year, Battersea Power Station will house over 100 shops, bars and restaurants, as well as unique events and leisure spaces.
