Battersea is a residential district of south London inside the London Borough of Wandsworth. It’s 4.8 km south west of Charing Cross. The district has one of southwest London’s most important 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’s a large section of public housing estates built during the mid-20th century, virtually all situated north of the major railway lines from Fairfield to Queenstown. There are four substantially big estates; Surrey Lane Estate towards the north, Doddington and Rollo Estate, Patmore Estate towards the east as well as the Winstanley Estate, which is known to be the birthplace of the garage collective So Solid Crew. There are several 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 based in Battersea following moving from Holloway in 1871. Other landmarks include the New Covent Garden Market, a significant fruit and vegetable wholesale marketplace, as well as the now disused Battersea Power Station which was constructed between 1929 and 1939. There have been many redevelopment projects since the 1980s to change the station into an entertainment and commercial centre, but at this point all attempts failed.
