Tim Cook revealed yesterday that Apple's new office location in London is at Battersea Power Station which will start operations in 2023. The selection of Battersea Power Station is interesting because the redevelopment project of this iconic area in the city of London is under the management of two Malaysian companies namely SP Setia and Sime Darby.
Before being converted into a commercial, office and residential area, Battersea Power Station supplied coal-fired electricity from 1955 to 1983. Because of the station's unique design, it was granted Grade II historic building status by the United Kingdom government.
The construction of Battersea was delayed several times due to protests from the public and also the pandemic. Although it has been abandoned for a long time while waiting for a new owner, this power station was also used as a filming set for the movie Aliens as a power station that doubles as a Xenomorph lair and Batman The Dark Knight where the explosion occurred causing the death of Rachel Dawes.
