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 main parks, Battersea Park.
In 2001, Battersea had a populace 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, almost all situated north of the primary railway lines from Fairfield to Queenstown. There are 4 considerably large estates; Surrey Lane Estate towards the north, Doddington and Rollo Estate, Patmore Estate towards the east and the Winstanley Estate, which is recognised for being the birthplace of the garage collective So Solid Crew.
You will find a variety of notable landmarks in Battersea, one of that is the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. Before that, the Temporary Home for Lost and Starving Dogs was based in Battersea soon after moving from Holloway in 1871. Other landmarks include things like the New Covent Garden Market, a significant vegetable and fruit wholesale market place, along with 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 transform the station into an entertainment and commercial complex, but at this point all attempts failed.
