After sharing the [[Millbank]] site with [[Tate Britain]] for many decades, since 2000 Tate Modern has occupied the converted former [[Bankside Power Station]]. This was originally designed by Sir [[Giles Gilbert Scott]], the architect of [[Battersea Power Station]], and built in two stages between 1947 and 1963. It is directly across the river from [[St Paul's Cathedral]]. The power station closed in 1981.<ref name=":1">{{cite web|url=http://www.glias.org.uk/gliasepapers/bankside.html|title=The rise, fall and transformation of Bankside power station, 1890-2010|accessdate=6 December 2013}}</ref>

Prior to redevelopment, the power station was a {{Convert|200|m|abbr=on}} long, [[steel frame]]d, brick [[Cladding (construction)|clad]] building with a substantial central chimney standing {{Convert|99|m|abbr=on}}. The structure was roughly divided into three main areas each running east–west – the huge main [[Turbine Hall]] in the centre, with the [[Mechanical room|boiler house]] to the north and the switch house to the south.<ref name=":1"/>
