Battersea Power Station is being offered for sale on the open market for the first time.
It is hoped the sale, to be handled by estate agent Knight Frank, will cover the £502m debts accrued by a firm which tried to redevelop the landmark site.
The 39-acre property is on the Thames and a new public park is planned there.
Chancellor George Osborne has confirmed government backing for plans to extend the London Underground's Northern Line into the heart of the area.
Stephan Miles-Brown, head of residential development at Knight Frank, said: "This is the first time Battersea Power Station has ever been offered for sale on the open market.
"As one of the UK's most recognisable landmarks, Knight Frank anticipates considerable interest in a scheme that is among the most exciting in the world today.

Who are these Pink Ffoyd fans?
And why would any Pink Ffoyd fans be interested in something another band brought to public attention?

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
