Piggy-backing on London's Olympic success, could there finally be enough momentum to follow through on this ambitious plan to redevelop my favorite London Landmark, Sir Gilbert Scott's awesome Battersea Power Station.
This mouldering hulk is big enough, according to the Guardian, to sit 2.5 million people down to dinner. Then again, who wants to rub shoulders with the riff-raff? Personally, I would prefer to skim up the river in a speed boat, under the elegant footbridge they are planning, then shoot straight up to the single dining room that is going to sit atop one of the power station's four chimmneys (the chimney in question completely reconstructed to withstand my considerable bulk). Power lunching with 360 degree views over some of London's most expensive real estate - that's Rat and Mouse heaven.
