A new cultural landmark is set to open at Battersea Power Station this spring, as NEON announces the launch of its purpose-built exhibition venue. Slated to open in Spring 2025, this cutting-edge space marks the first of its kind in Central London, dedicated solely to immersive entertainment and cultural exhibitions. NEON, a leader in global immersive experiences, is bringing its renowned exhibits, including highlights such as Machu Picchu: The Golden Empires of Peru and Jurassic World: The Exhibition, to this exciting new location, with the inaugural exhibition set to be revealed soon.

The venue is located next to the iconic Battersea Power Station and will feature a 3,200-square-metre exhibition space that is currently under construction. The venue’s development is progressing smoothly, with the installation of a massive 128-tonne roof structure already completed. The creative architecture of the venue is led by Expo Pavilion Group (EPG | UAU-Studio), with Star Live serving as the principal contractor. The project promises to be a dynamic addition to London’s cultural fabric, further cementing Battersea Power Station as a thriving cultural hub, home to over 150 shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues.
NEON at Battersea will host two unique exhibitions each year, drawing global visitors to London for extraordinary, immersive experiences. In recognition of its community impact, NEON is committed to accessibility, offering 5,000 free tickets to local schools and 1,000 tickets to charities and youth groups. This dedication to community engagement supports NEON’s broader mission of making world-class cultural experiences available to all. The opening of the venue aligns with Wandsworth’s designation as The London Borough of Culture in 2025, marking the beginning of a new chapter for Battersea Power Station as a vibrant cultural destination.
