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 primary parks, Battersea Park. In 2001, Battersea had a human population of 75,651, but by 2011 the number stood at 73,345, noting a small reduction. There is a substantial section of public housing estates constructed during the mid-20th century, practically all situated north of the major railway lines from Fairfield to Queenstown. There are four substantially significant estates; Surrey Lane Estate to the north, Doddington and Rollo Estate, Patmore Estate to the east along with the Winstanley Estate, that is identified for being 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 based in Battersea following moving from Holloway in 1871. Other landmarks contain the New Covent Garden Market, a major vegetable and fruit wholesale marketplace, along with the now disused Battersea Power Station which was constructed between 1929 and 1939. There have already been many redevelopment projects since the 1980s to convert the station into an entertainment and commercial centre, but at this point all attempts have failed.
