Battersea is in the borough of Wandsworth, and is known for its iconic power station turned shopping centre, and animal rescue hub. Affluent areas of Kensington and Chelsea can be reached easily by road and rail, and Battersea is starting to become equally as popular. Many visitors flock to this part of London to enjoy Battersea Power Station, which is characterised by its four chimneys, to enjoy shopping and dining, before heading out for a stroll around the beautiful Battersea Park. In this park, you’ll be immersed in a green oasis, with fountains, a boating lake, and a Japanese style Peace Pagoda, all overlooking the Thames as the water flows by. Then, there is Battersea Cats and Dogs Home, which was founded in 1860, and has provided care for countless animals over the years.
