Battersea
Battersea is a residential district of south London in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It's 2.9 miles south west of Charing Cross. The district has one of southwest London’s main parks, Battersea Park.
In 2001, Battersea had a human population of 75,651, but by 2011 the number stood at 73,345, noting a modest reduction. There's a significant section of public housing estates constructed during the mid-20th century, virtually all situated north of the major railway lines from Fairfield to Queenstown. There are four considerably substantial estates; Surrey Lane Estate to the north, Doddington and Rollo Estate, Patmore Estate towards the east plus the Winstanley Estate, that is recognised 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 consist of the New Covent Garden Market, a significant fruit and vegetable wholesale market, as well as the now disused Battersea Power Station which was constructed between 1929 and 1939. There have been lots of redevelopment projects since the 1980s to turn the station into an entertainment and commercial complex, but at this point all attempts failed.
