           For the first time in 25 years the public will be able to see inside the historic Battersea
           Power Station following the launch of new plans to redevelop the site.

           As part of its commitment to public access and consultation, Real Estate Opportunities
           Limited, owners of Battersea Power Station, is offering `walk tours' enabling visitors to
           the public exhibition to look inside the main Boiler House and Turbine Hall of the iconic
           power station.

           The `walk tour' is available to all between Saturday 28th June to Saturday 5th July
           (except Sunday 29th June, detailed opening times below).

           In addition, a free breakfast and a preview of the plans are on offer to London cabbies
           from 6am-8am on Wednesday 2 July and Friday 4 July.

           Entrance to the public exhibition and the walking tours at Battersea Power Station
           is via Gate 2, 188 Kirtling Street, London SW8 5BN

           Notes to Editors
           The masterplan, unveiled on 20 June 2008 by Real Estate Opportunities Limited ("REO"),
           a London listed property company, will regenerate an area of London that will provide
           approximately 8 million square feet (750,000 square metres) of residential, office and
           retail space. There will be a six acre public park, a riverside walk and an urban square.

A development by Treasury Holdings UK on behalf of REO
The Battersea Power Station development will be home to around 7,000 people and up
to 20,000 new jobs will be created. More than 3,200 homes will be built on the site and
2,500 jobs will be created during the construction phase.

REO is planning to spend £150 million on saving and repairing Sir Giles Gilbert Scott's
1930s power station, with the key historic spaces retained and open to the public. It will
be developed to incorporate hotel, residential and retail accommodation. It will once
again be used to produce power with a new combined cooling, heat and power plant,
but this time using biofuels, waste and other renewable energy sources. Two of the
existing power station's chimneys will be reused as flues for this new Energy Centre.

In its role as development manager for REO, Treasury Holdings UK is holding a public
exhibition of the proposed masterplan.

The opening times are:
· Saturday 28th June ­ 10am - 6pm
· Monday 30th June to Thursday 3rd July ­ 12 noon - 8pm
· Friday 4th July ­ 12 noon - 6pm
