The Power House, Chiswick is a former electricity generating station on Chiswick High Road and a Grade II listed building, completed in 1901. It provided power for the London United Electrical Tramway Company until 1917. The upper part of the building was converted for residential use in 1985, and the lower part for use as a recording studio in 1989.

Background
Architecture
The Power House was built as an electricity generating station for the London United Electrical Tramway Company between 1899 and 1901. The Power House was designed by the architects William Curtis Green and J. Clifton Robinson; the building engineer was a Mr. Parshall. Cherry and Pevsner call the Power House "by far the most exciting building" of Chiswick High Road and Turnham Green, and "the best surviving example in London from the early, heroic era of generating stations whose bulky intrusion in residential areas was tempered by thoughtful architectural treatment".
