Battersea is a residential district of south London inside the London Borough of Wandsworth. It’s 2.9 miles south west of Charing Cross. The district has one of southwest London’s key 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 significant section of public housing estates constructed in the mid-20th century, practically all situated north of the major railway lines from Fairfield to Queenstown. There are four substantially substantial estates; Surrey Lane Estate to the north, Doddington and Rollo Estate, Patmore Estate to the east and the Winstanley Estate, which 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. 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 include the New Covent Garden Market, a major fruit and vegetable wholesale market place, plus the now disused Battersea Power Station which was constructed between 1929 and 1939. There have already been several redevelopment projects since the 1980s to convert the station into an entertainment and commercial centre, but thus far all attempts failed.
