Of course, now it's a modern art gallery it trades on its ultilitarian past as hard as it can, with spaces like the 'turbine hall'. Nothing like a bit of industrial grit to give your conceptual art a bit of kudos!

From the
Guardian, April 2009:
"
Thomas Heatherwick has been commissioned by the borough of Kensington and Chelsea to create four newspaper stands; two have been completed and can be found outside Earl's Court and Sloane Square tube stations. The Paperhouse kiosk is an inverted dome shape, made from wood-lined steel. The doors open out in sections with inbuilt magazine racks and the kiosk plugs in to an outside cable so that the light comes on inside."
