Lift 109 at Battersea Power Station launches Elevated Sound Bath experiences

This autumn, Battersea Power Station will host an unparalleled wellness event for two dates only: the Elevated Sound Bath. Held at the top of the iconic building’s northwest chimney, the activity will take place on the evenings of Thursday 17^th, Thursday 24^th October and Wednesday 6^th November 2024. Farzana Ali, a leading sound therapist and author, will conduct the sessions inside Lift 109, the site’s distinctive glass elevator, presenting participants a chance to unwind 109 metres above the ground.

The Elevated Sound Bath is part of the Lift 109 Lates series, a collection of special after-hours events that capitalise on the panoramic views observable from the elevated platform. Past activations included Sundown Sessions and Sky High Tequila Tasting. 

The sound bath aims to provide a respite from the city’s hustle and bustle, allowing participants to invite calm and creativity into their lives. During the October and November sessions, attendees will be immersed in the resonant tones of alchemy crystal singing bowls, designed to promote relaxation and mental clarity. The experience is enhanced by the breathtaking backdrop of London’s skyline at night, seen from the high vantage point of the chimney.

Ali explained: “Sound baths are an excellent way to calm the nervous system to make you feel rested and relaxed while gazing into the distance is restful for the eyes which may be fatigued from staring at screens all day.” The author further highlighted the distinctive combination of sound therapy and the mesmerizing cityscape as a potent mix for alleviating stress.

Over the past few years, Battersea Power Station has undergone significant regeneration, transforming the renowned Grade II* listed building into a vibrant mixed-use neighbourhood that attracts millions of visitors annually. The area now features a variety of shops, restaurants, and cultural activities, making it a burgeoning hub in the heart of London.

Opened at the end of 2022, the Lift 109 experience includes a multimedia exhibition set in the Art Deco Turbine Hall for a glimpse into the building’s industrial and cultural past, followed by an exciting ascent where rings of light and a soundscape reminiscent of rising energy guide the way up to 109m to the top of the Power Station’s northwest chimney for a breathtaking 360-degree vista of the London skyline. 

Providing a moment of peace and reflection amidst the urban environment, at a time when the city continues to embrace innovative wellness experiences, the Elevated Sound Bath stands out as a promising addition to London’s cultural calendar.
