From what I've been reading providing your not carrying tools or haven't physically broken anything to gain access, then the worst that will happen if caught is a quick frog march to the exit.

Hope so for your sake
But what is left to look at nowadays as everything is now housing or building sites . Isn't battersea power station being converted at the moment

Been searching around the web and one place I would love to try is Battersea power station. Looking at some pics the 2 control rooms look amazing.

Im sure the copper fairies would like to explore the switch room also

The copper fairies are now urban tour guides I would imagine lol

Yes, Battersea is being turned into plush apartments and you won't get anywhere near the place anymore.

There's an old cinema complex in grays essex that's good but slowly falling apart it's still got a Wurlitzer organ that rises out of the floor . One of two left in england

Will they be keeping any of the old power station do you know rockin or will it be completely gutted

Battersea is now a major construction site so it may be near on impossible to get to now, I say near on impossible only because a couple of chaps manage to scale the shard whilst that was being built without getting caught!

Me and a few mates used to do this a lot a few years ago, Epsom which is fairly local to us had at one point, 5 mental asylums. We saw 2 out of the 5 as the other 3 had been knocked down or converted to flats. I used to love it, you get a very eerie feeling wandering places that used to be bustling with activity, only to be left for nature to slowly take back. There was lots of history literally just left, old patient report cards, medical equipment, straight jackets, all sorts. My favourite one was Cane Hill asylum, which was in a really sorry state apart from the on site chapel. We got caught there by the security, but as we weren't in there to wreck it, he kept the dog on its lead and was quite friendly in escorting us out.

The link that Archy put up is a great site, and if you get the chance sintra go for it! It's great fun and if you're handy with a camera as well you'll get plenty of opportunities to grab some pretty dramatic shots. I'd like to get back into it before all of these places get turned into housing etc.

I love that site, I'd do it if I knew anybody that was interested.

Got a friend working at Battersea now, kind of jealous...

Here a topic I did a while ago for http://www.midlandsheritage.co.uk

There’s a similar topic on 28 days later

But as Marvo said, the police will take a dim view of “breaking and entering”.

Balls, another forum I'm going to have to sign up to!

Did this back in the 80s when I lived down there...

see this ... King William Street

Wish we had digital cameras back then!


We got in following the last train out of Borough tube, up the track a few 100 yards to where the original line branches off.

The reason I didnt go to work in london in the end. £40 a day travel for 120-150 a (long) day? Hell no
