Site: Pimlico District Heating Undertaking refurbished (1 memorial)

SW1, Churchill Gardens Road

This strange structure is an accumulator, basically a huge hot water tank, like you may have in your house somewhere in a nice warm cupboard, but massive. It supplies heat to the properties on this estate.

The plaque can just be seen in our photo, facing the road.
