Get Battersea Pro’s

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 principal parks, Battersea Park. In 2001, Battersea had a population of 75,651, but by 2011 the number stood at 73,345, noting a modest reduction. There’s a significant section of public housing estates built in the mid-20th century, virtually all situated north of the primary railway lines from Fairfield to Queenstown. There are four significantly substantial estates; Surrey Lane Estate to the north, Doddington and Rollo Estate, Patmore Estate to the east and the Winstanley Estate, which is recognised to be the birthplace of the garage collective So Solid Crew. There are 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 primarily based in Battersea after moving from Holloway in 1871. Other landmarks include things like the New Covent Garden Market, a significant fruit and vegetable wholesale market, and also the now disused Battersea Power Station which was built between 1929 and 1939. There have already been lots of redevelopment projects since the 1980s to convert the station into an entertainment and commercial centre, but to date all attempts have failed.
