Battersea

Battersea is a residential district of south London within the London Borough of Wandsworth. It's 2.9 miles south west of Charing Cross. The district has one of southwest London’s most important parks, Battersea Park.

In 2001, Battersea had a populace of 75,651, but by 2011 the number stood at 73,345, noting a slight reduction. There is a large section of public housing estates built during the mid-20th century, almost all situated north of the main railway lines from Fairfield to Queenstown. There are four substantially big estates; Surrey Lane Estate towards the north, Doddington and Rollo Estate, Patmore Estate towards the east and also the Winstanley Estate, which is known to be the birthplace of the garage collective So Solid Crew.

There are a variety of notable landmarks in Battersea, one of which is the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. Before that, the Temporary Home for Lost and Starving Dogs was based in Battersea following moving from Holloway in 1871. Other landmarks contain the New Covent Garden Market, a major fruit and vegetable wholesale market place, and the now disused Battersea Power Station which was constructed between 1929 and 1939. There have already been lots of redevelopment projects since the 1980s to convert the station into an entertainment and commercial complex, but at this point all attempts failed.
