Believe it or not, this is the Toyo-Ito designed pavilion that was the Serpentine Gallery's summer pavilion back in 2002 (NB the Serpentine gallery, in Hyde Park, commissions an architecturally innovative building every year - which is open to the public for free). After a summer as a coffee shop the pavilion moved round the world before eventually settling here as the on-site marketing suite for the company developing the Battersea Power Station project. You can't see much from the ground unless the power station is having an open day, as it's behind a large wall - but it's quite distinctive from the air. There's a ground level photo on the Wikipedia page.
