Inside Britain's most expensive corner shop where bottle of wine can cost £4,250

The Battersea General Store sells all the usual items you need on a day-to-day basis - but on display in a temperature-controlled fridge is a selection of very expensive wine

A posh corner shop located next to the luxury Battersea Power Station complex is charging residents up to £4,250 for a bottle of wine.

The Battersea General Store sells all the usual items you need to top up the food and fridge on a day-to-day basis - but on display in a temperature-controlled fridge is a selection of very expensive wine. Other items include popcorn for £24.99 and a Kinder egg for £8.

The store’s general manager Raj Bathia claims celebrities regularly visit his shop to pick up their groceries - but stopped short of revealing who. Speaking to The Sun, the shop owner says he sees famous people “on a daily basis because a lot live here”.

The price of a flat in the luxury Battersea Power Station development in South West London will set you back an eye-watering £1.2million on average. Some will cost you more than this. We previously reported on how flat that comes complete with a staff bedroom and office went on the market for a massive £31 million at Battersea Power Station.

Another luxury penthouse that boasts stunning views over the River Thames and modern interior design previously went on sale for £8.2million. Celebrities that are reported to have moved into the complex include Bear TV star and face of survival Bear Grylls, 50, as well as singer Sting, 72 and his wife Trudie Styler, 70.

Battersea Power Station is a famous London landmark that has been around since the 1930s and is famed for its unique art deco design. It spent many years in decay following its closure in the 1980s - but finally reopened in October 2022 after nearly a decade and a £9billion restoration process.

These days, as well as being home to brand new office spaces and luxury flats, the power station is an enormous leisure complex, complete with hundreds of shops and restaurants as well as events spaces. The public can enjoy shopping and dining in one of the restored turbine halls, with Turbine Hall A hosting premium clothing stores while Turning Hall B offers a mix of contemporary brands.

Visitors can also pay to experience the unique glass elevator, which travels 109 meters up the north-west chimney, emerging onto a 360-degree viewing platform. As well as all of this, there's a newly pedestrianised high street next to the power station named Electric Boulevard, which is home to even more shops.

From the 1930s to the 1980s, Battersea was a working power station and at its peak it was producing a fifth of London's power, including supply for the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace.
