Battersea is located in the London Borough of Wandsworth and is situated in South West London. Considered very much inner city London, Battersea is less than 3 miles away from Charing Cross, making it readily accessible from just about any part of Central London. One of the main attractions of this area is that it lies on the South Bank of the River Thames and has some wonderful panoramic river views.
Battersea Power Station, which is no longer in operation is currently being renovated to create a huge entertainment complex and dominates the Battersea skyline with its vast presence, visible from both land and water. Battersea is also famous for the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home as well as the large Battersea Park which occupies an amazing 83 hectares. Battersea is also home to the UK’s busiest heliports, regularly dispatching emergency helicopters to locations across the country. |
