Stepney Power Station (sometimes known as Limehouse Power Station) was a small coal-fired power station situated by the Thames on the north side of Narrow Street, Limehouse, London.

History

Stepney Borough Council began construction of the station at Blyth Wharf in 1907. A coaling jetty was built in 1923.[1] The station supplied the boroughs of Stepney and Bethnal Green.[2]

Following pollution problems from the original chimneys a single tall brick chimney was constructed in 1937,[1] dominating the area. The station continued generation until the early 1970s and has since been demolished. The coaling jetty in the river remains.
