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 principal parks, Battersea Park. In 2001, Battersea had a population of 75,651, but by 2011 the number stood at 73,345, noting a small reduction. There’s a significant section of public housing estates constructed during the mid-20th century, virtually all situated north of the primary railway lines from Fairfield to Queenstown. There are four substantially substantial estates; Surrey Lane Estate to the north, Doddington and Rollo Estate, Patmore Estate towards the east as well as the Winstanley Estate, which is recognised to be 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. Prior to that, the Temporary Home for Lost and Starving Dogs was based in Battersea just after moving from Holloway in 1871. Other landmarks include things like the New Covent Garden Market, a major vegetable and fruit wholesale market place, along with the now disused Battersea Power Station which was built between 1929 and 1939. There have been many redevelopment projects since the 1980s to convert the station into an entertainment and commercial centre, but thus far all attempts have failed.
