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 principal parks, Battersea Park.
In 2001, Battersea had a citizenry of 75,651, but by 2011 the number stood at 73,345, noting a small reduction. There is a big area 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 considerably big estates; Surrey Lane Estate to the north, Doddington and Rollo Estate, Patmore Estate towards the east along with the Winstanley Estate, that is identified to be the birthplace of the garage collective So Solid Crew.
There are numerous 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 primarily based in Battersea soon after moving from Holloway in 1871. Other landmarks include things like the New Covent Garden Market, a major fruit and vegetable wholesale market place, and the now disused Battersea Power Station which was built 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 thus far all attempts have failed.
