Herzog and de Meuron's Tate Modern art gallery in a renovated power station serves as the Ministry of Arts in Children of Men. It is a giant personal apartment filled with the most valuable art, ultimately rendered worthless, in a world with no future.The ministry is owned in its entirety by Theo's cousin Nigel who is the very epitome of a prosperous Blairite, just as the building itself is a monument to Londons recent wealth. You can't help but feel that the choice of this building is deliberate and satirical.

Isn’t this the former Battersea Power Station though?

Actually, ignore me; I’m wrong
The exteriors in Children of Men were Battersea though.
