Battersea is a residential district of south London in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It is 4.8 km south west of Charing Cross. The district has one of southwest London’s major parks, Battersea Park. In 2001, Battersea had a citizenry of 75,651, but by 2011 the number stood at 73,345, noting a modest reduction. There’s a large section of public housing estates built during the mid-20th century, almost all situated north of the primary railway lines from Fairfield to Queenstown. There are four substantially significant estates; Surrey Lane Estate towards the north, Doddington and Rollo Estate, Patmore Estate to the east as well as the Winstanley Estate, that is known to be the birthplace of the garage collective So Solid Crew. There are a number 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 primarily based in Battersea soon after moving from Holloway in 1871. Other landmarks consist of the New Covent Garden Market, a significant 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 make the station into an entertainment and commercial centre, but at this point all attempts have failed.
