    London's largest ballroom ?

    I have just heard on the news about the latest plans for Battersea Power Station.

    Included in the plans for 3,400 homes and 1.7m square feet of offices, shops, restaurants etc they are also planning London's largest ballroom in one of the former turbine halls.

    This is fantastic news - but I think we may have to wait a while for it all to happen.

    A £5.5 billion scheme, It better be a fancy mirrorball for that!

    I hope that work finally does go ahead. I did a tour round the power station about 20 years ago, plenty of impressive art deco was still intact at that stage, I wonder what state it's in now? Hopefully I'll be fit to have a go around the ballroom before I need a Zimmer!

    Don't get too excited. The Irish builder behind it hasn't got the money for it yet!
    I have visions of Mr. O'Reilly at Fawlty Towers.


    Not to mention that when it opens it'll probably be priced out of reach for Ceroc.

    Assuming they want to use the ballroom for dancing, who would use it? Do other dance organisations have significantly bigger membership numbers than Ceroc?
    Love dance, will travel
