Long-term plans for the development of London’s iconic Battersea Power Station have a bit of a chequered history but from sharing the cover of Pink Floyd’s 1977 Animals album with an inflatable pig (which cut loose and flew into the Heathrow flight-path) to hosting concerts, festivals and winter sports’ events to starring in Batman: The Dark Knight and The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus, the venue certainly knows how to party!

And now, The Boiler House, set within the Power Station’s walls, is set to become London’s premier event venue.

The space is exclusively managed by Industri who hold a licence for the next 3 years.

A glass ceiling allows guests a stunning view of the building’s exterior and dramatic façade as does a 30m outdoor viewing deck. The Boiler House is licensed to hold 700 seated banquet guests and up to 1000 standing.

And if you want to check it out for yourselves, there’s an exclusive Invitation Only showcase for events’ professionals on Tuesday 9 March with food, drink and special effects from preferred suppliers which will see the venue illuminated by amazing backdrop visuals.

As we stumble through the memories of our student days peopled by unsuitable boyfriends, unspeakable amounts of alcohol and cold pizza for breakfast we find ourselves wondering if a great deal has actually changed save higher tolerance levels, worse hangovers and more expensive shoes to trash…

But back to that pizza. Nick Jones’ Pizza East is making the Shoreditch walk of shame a whole lot more bearable. As of Monday morning, the venue will be open for breakfast daily from 7.30am during the week, and 10am at the weekend.

And star of the show is the newly invented Rolly – a pizza style wrap filled with Sausage, pancetta, mozzarella & egg or Spinach, mushroom, ricotta and egg. There’s even a Full English Breakfast version! The Euro chic contingent can indulge in Bruschetti topped with ricotta & Seville orange marmalade or avocado and chilli but hey, nothing beats a slice of good old traditional Margherita (it’s served hot but cold and congealed might be taking that trip down memory lane a little too literally). Pastries, cinnamon sticks and pear muffins will appeal to those who’s uni days were slightly more sheltered.

Swing by on your way to work (or home!) on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings next week and you’ll find Pizza East staff dishing out free samples of their wares…
