\"Battersea<\/a>
\nI visited the China Power Station: Part I exhibition<\/a> at Battersea Power Station today, which is worth going to, if only for the opportunity to have a look around the famous London landmark before it’s converted into a spectacular new venue.
\nI wasn’t the only person going around packing a camera; everywhere I went, another photographer was setting up a tripod to take some photos. And as you can see in the couple of pictures I’ve posted here, the weather was fantastic with clue blue skies.
\nI cycled there, and this must be the most cycle-friendly exhibition I’ve ever been to. Inside you can leave your bike anywhere you like. That’s because they’ve laid on hundreds of mountain bikes inside which you can just pick up and cycle around on and then leave wherever you like. Great.

\nInside you can see the hollowed out station itself including turbine rooms. Then there are the pieces of Chinese art. Much of these are video installations which are moderately interesting, although I did like the screen that just showed passers-by in China gathering outside some kind of shop window becoming more and more interested in what’s going on. Strangely alluring.

\nSee the full set of my photos here<\/a> (Obviously I took many many<\/em> more but I’ve selected a few key ones).
\nAfterwards it was another cycle back towards Trafalgar Square to see what was going on at the I Count<\/a> climate control protest.
\n\"Trafalgar<\/a>
\nI stayed there for a short time before heading up Charing Cross Road where I ran into a march that was going to converge on Trafalgar Square. It was all very well behaved and everyone involved seemed to be having fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
