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 major parks, Battersea Park.
In 2001, Battersea had a populace of 75,651, but by 2011 the number stood at 73,345, noting a slight reduction. There is a large 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 four considerably substantial estates; Surrey Lane Estate towards the north, Doddington and Rollo Estate, Patmore Estate towards the east plus the Winstanley Estate, that is known to be the birthplace of the garage collective So Solid Crew.
You will find several 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 based in Battersea just after moving from Holloway in 1871. Other landmarks include the New Covent Garden Market, a significant vegetable and fruit wholesale marketplace, plus the now disused Battersea Power Station which was built between 1929 and 1939. There have already been numerous redevelopment projects since the 1980s to convert the station into an entertainment and commercial centre, but to date all attempts have failed.
