Battersea Power Station is an iconic London landmark on the south bank of the River Thames.

Built between 1929 and 1955, at its peak, the coal-fired power plant supplied 20% of London's electricity.

It stopped generating electricity in 1983 and it is now is a Grade II listed building of "powerful architectural and historic significance," according to Historic England, a UK government body tasked with preserving historic buildings.

An Apple spokesperson said that for the office interior, the company had sourced hand-fired bricks from the same quarry used in the original construction of the power station.

After decades lying abandoned, Battersea Power Station has undergone a lengthy renovation, and is due to open to the public on October 14.

The redeveloped building will feature private apartments, restaurants, shops, and event venues, as well as offices.

"Once a source of energy for much of London, the transformation this building has undergone honors London's past and celebrates its future," Cook said in a statement to Insider. "We're so glad to be a part of it."
