Battersea
Battersea is a residential district of south London in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It's 4.8 km south west of Charing Cross. The district has one of southwest London’s main parks, Battersea Park.
In 2001, Battersea had a population of 75,651, but by 2011 the number stood at 73,345, noting a modest reduction. There is a big section of public housing estates constructed during the mid-20th century, almost all situated north of the key railway lines from Fairfield to Queenstown. There are 4 significantly big estates; Surrey Lane Estate towards the north, Doddington and Rollo Estate, Patmore Estate towards the east and the Winstanley Estate, that is identified to be the birthplace of the garage collective So Solid Crew.
You will find a number of notable landmarks in Battersea, one of which is the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. Prior to that, the Temporary Home for Lost and Starving Dogs was primarily based in Battersea just after moving from Holloway in 1871. Other landmarks contain the New Covent Garden Market, a major fruit and vegetable wholesale market, and the now disused Battersea Power Station which was built between 1929 and 1939. There have been lots of redevelopment projects since the 1980s to convert the station into an entertainment and commercial centre, but to date all attempts failed.
