There are several new or refurbished buildings along the borough's prosperous riverside which includes the large Chelsea Bridge Wharf.
The Peace Pagoda, one of several such international Pagodas is in Battersea Park, a sprawling rectangle typically hosting circuses next to the Thames. The London Heliport, London's main and busiest heliport is just beyond Battersea Park and south of this is New Covent Garden Market.
