Battersea
Battersea is a residential district of south London inside the London Borough of Wandsworth. It is 2.9 miles south west of Charing Cross. The district has one of southwest London’s key parks, Battersea Park.
In 2001, Battersea had a populace of 75,651, but by 2011 the number stood at 73,345, noting a small reduction. There is a substantial area of public housing estates constructed during the mid-20th century, nearly all situated north of the main railway lines from Fairfield to Queenstown. There are 4 substantially substantial estates; Surrey Lane Estate towards the north, Doddington and Rollo Estate, Patmore Estate towards the east and the Winstanley Estate, which is known to be the birthplace of the garage collective So Solid Crew.
There are many 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 just after moving from Holloway in 1871. Other landmarks include things like the New Covent Garden Market, a major vegetable and fruit wholesale market place, as well as the now disused Battersea Power Station which was built between 1929 and 1939. There have been many redevelopment projects since the 1980s to change the station into an entertainment and commercial complex, but at this point all attempts failed.
