Control Room A at Battersea Power Station — a high-profile restoration where period detail and component accuracy mattered.

Project Overview

John Moncrieff was proud to contribute specialist press-glass lighting components to the restoration of Control Room A at Battersea Power Station, London. This landmark Art Deco interior forms part of one of the UK’s most recognisable industrial buildings and has been carefully restored as a distinctive event space.

This was not a generic supply job. The brief demanded components that aligned with the visual language of the original interior while supporting a high-quality restoration outcome in a live commercial setting.

This project demonstrates where bespoke manufacturing creates real value: heritage-sensitive components, made with the right geometry, colour and finish, for spaces where detail is non-negotiable.

Scope of Supply

• Clear square pressed-glass panels
• Amber triangular pressed-glass panels
• Pressed coloured buttons
• Components tailored to a heritage restoration setting

Why This Project Matters

Control Room A is one of the defining interiors within Battersea Power Station. In a restoration environment like this, the small details do the heavy lifting. Off-the-shelf parts usually miss the mark. They look wrong, feel generic, and dilute the end result.

Bespoke pressed-glass components make the scheme feel credible. They support the historic character of the space, reinforce the original design intent, and help deliver a finished installation that belongs in the building rather than fighting against it.

What Clients Take From This

• We manufacture specialist components where standard supply chains fall short
