Battersea
Battersea is a residential district of south London within the London Borough of Wandsworth. It is 2.9 miles south west of Charing Cross. The district has one of southwest London’s most important 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 in the mid-20th century, virtually all situated north of the principal railway lines from Fairfield to Queenstown. There are 4 significantly large estates; Surrey Lane Estate towards the north, Doddington and Rollo Estate, Patmore Estate to the east and also the Winstanley Estate, which is identified for being the birthplace of the garage collective So Solid Crew.
There are numerous notable landmarks in Battersea, one of that is the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. Prior to that, the Temporary Home for Lost and Starving Dogs was primarily based in Battersea after moving from Holloway in 1871. Other landmarks consist of the New Covent Garden Market, a major fruit and vegetable wholesale marketplace, and also the now disused Battersea Power Station which was built between 1929 and 1939. There have been several redevelopment projects since the 1980s to change the station into an entertainment and commercial centre, but at this point all attempts failed.
