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 primary parks, Battersea Park. In 2001, Battersea had a populace 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 constructed during the mid-20th century, nearly all situated north of the primary railway lines from Fairfield to Queenstown. There are 4 significantly significant estates; Surrey Lane Estate to the north, Doddington and Rollo Estate, Patmore Estate towards the east plus the Winstanley Estate, which is recognised for being the birthplace of the garage collective So Solid Crew. There are many 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 after moving from Holloway in 1871. Other landmarks contain the New Covent Garden Market, a major vegetable and fruit wholesale market place, and also the now disused Battersea Power Station which was built between 1929 and 1939. There have already been several redevelopment projects since the 1980s to turn the station into an entertainment and commercial complex, but so far all attempts have failed.
