a machine off one day they hope to have a more accessible apartment and children. a shared life together, like any other family. do anything them? what to do with relics of the path that have out lived there have some can be torn down, but others like this i conic british power plant in london are simply to grand to be destroyed. berry reminisces with his son about the good old days when he used to work here as a young electrician. well, the power plant used to service buckingham palace and the houses of parliament. it was even immortalized in hitchcock film, but the battery power station was decommissioned in 1983 and fell into ruins. now the spark has been rekindled on the river thames. as the colossus caters to a new set of customers. the it was

a temple of the industrial age, one of london's most famous landmarks, the mattress, the power station. but after the last generator was shut down in the early 19 eighties. the former power station fell into disrepair. for decades, londoners feared for their landmarks. but now it's reopened, and visitors are flocking. they are to rediscover. the iconic building pole for example, used to climb into the ruins secretly at night. so i'm hoping the faces will retain some of their grand you're in size, but also a little bit to know why that some of the commercial aspects of taking some of the magic away in the power station. it's resurrection to international investors who have made it the heart of a new luxury development. for the 1st time in

43 years, barry has also come back to the plant. he's brought his son with him. as a young man, he worked here as an electrician. i'm nervous. yeah, i'm believable for you. this is bringing back memories back then barry tells us on the tricity was generated with cold and steam away. the smoke and steam that rose from the chimneys contributed to london's famous fog. all sorts of other things that needed to be disposed of for also burned here, like expired bank notes. and there was packs of bank notes and always philly incinerator. berry says that explains why some of his coworkers suddenly appeared in very expensive suits on their days. all right, i mean, cuz what they should do was, yeah, so i used to get back because i was taught you packed. yeah. so it seems, but inside money used to be, you know,

absolutely fine. and it was on traceable original money laundering from the past. i shit, hole is exploring the other side of the all whole. this is where a few remnants of the former architecture have been preserved. why expect, is it really? all of the vastness of the spaces don't disconnect, close it up with shops, and that could be just any shopping center anywhere today. the mattress, the power station is a temple to money consumption and luxury for battery. that takes some getting used to just when somebody this was hung such before it was a family, it really was a family. well that building up there that place up there and control them. yeah. when you think about us, 250 megawatts of power in your control, you was controlling a sizable propulsion of west london. the power at your fingertips. yeah.

and that's just so was just something really interesting. just amazing. it really was re, was amazing. the control room where barry worked was the heart of the power station . these days, hostile furious private events and is off limits to regular visitors. yeah, in a while m side on getting the control room might be able to get smuggled into some strife. the vast control room was built entirely in the art deco style of the 1930 s a center of power from a time when industrial buildings still had a touch of the secret to them. meanwhile, paul has found another relic from back then a smaller control center, this now a champagne bar. paul used to sneak in here back when the power station was ruined and took photos of what he found with the whole bar.

if you ignore that, this is almost exactly the same, really pretty cool, and they kept it very beautifully so good. the former cathedral of red brick, a temple of the industrial revolution has been brought into the 21st century. the surrounding neighborhood is also being transformed. for barry is almost unrecognizable until he finds a pump. he still remembers one. there is a sense of sided, i think, not just for bankruptcy, but for london as a whole, provoke so where i was born anywhere along the river times there is a rich area. you know, and it wasn't gonna be done before a battery and, and i am now and i've eaten betsy now, but pulses. there are some other sites to. it doesn't be great. i guess the everyone gets to not just crazy adventures. who break in, you know, and it's a really beautiful things to be able to see, and it's

a very magnetic building. so i'm glad it's been say to people can come and see it, but there's a slight feeling of loss of something else that's gone as well. ah, the pastor see power station near last, some of it's grand, you're wedged between luxury residential complexes. but the old icon is still standing and in london ravaged by wealth. that's something worth celebrating. a prayer for peace at a sanctuary in france. the area around the capital, paris is a melting pot of religions, and at times faith has been used as a tool to divide society. but in this paris suburb muslim and jewish worshippers are embracing their differences. the multi faith district of lucy saw george had launched a project aimed at promoting dialogue and tolerance. * called the esplanade of religions. it's creating spaces for people of many different faith to worship. and
