  • Battersea Area Guide
    Battersea Area Guide Living in Battersea and Nine Elms Battersea is in the London Borough of Wandsworth and stands on the south bank of the River Thames, spanning from Fairfield in the west to Queenstown in the east. The area is conveniently located just 3 miles from Charing Cross and easily accessible from most parts of Central London. The skyline is dominated by Battersea Power Station and its four distinctive chimneys, visible from both land and water, making it one of London’s most famous landmarks. Battersea’s most famous attractions have been here for more than a century. The legendary Battersea Dogs and Cats Home still finds new families for abandoned pets, and Battersea Park, which opened in 1858, guarantees a wonderful day out. Today Battersea is a relatively affluent neighbourhood with wine bars and many independent and unique shops - Northcote Road once being voted London’s second favourite shopping street. The SW11 Literary Festival showcases the best of Battersea’s literary talents and the famous New Covent Garden Market keeps many of London’s restaurants supplied with fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers. Nine Elms is Europe’s largest regeneration zone and, according the mayor of London, the ‘most important urban renewal programme’ to date. Three and half times larger than the Canary Wharf finance district, the future of Nine Elms, once a rundown industrial district, is exciting with two new underground stations planned for completion by 2020 linking up with the northern line at Vauxhall and providing excellent transport links to the City, Central London and the West End.

  • James Mcneill Whistler (1834-1903) ‘I Am Bored to Death After a Certain Time Away from Piccadilly! – I Pine for Pall Mall and I Long for a Hansom! -
    James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) ‘I am bored to death after a certain time away from Piccadilly! – I pine for Pall Mall and I long for a hansom! - ... I begin rather to wish myself back in my own lovely London fogs! They are lovely those fogs - and I am their painter!’ (Whistler, 1880) American born, French-trained, London-based, and fascinated with the art of both East and West, James McNeill Whistler occupies a pivotal position between cultures and artistic traditions. He was an artist of a cosmopolitan background; born in Lowell, Massachusetts, he grew up in America, England and Russia. He studied briefly at the United States Military Academy at West Point, learnt to etch at the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in Washington DC and left Americain 1855 to study art in Paris. As a child he visited his half-sister Deborah and the physician-etcher Francis Seymour Haden at 62 Sloane Street. In 1859 he settled in London, painting, etching, exhibiting his work and acquiring patrons among the city merchants and shipping magnates. He worked on site down by the docks and painted the Thames bridges, old and new. He depicted the workers and whores, sailors and foreshore men, the decaying wharves, the ferries and wherries, clippers and cutters. He documented the industrial waterway in a realistic manner and recorded the commercial centre of the greatest port in Europe in all its dirty, crowded, bustling activity. But over the years his subject matter, techniques and compositions evolved with his sites. He sought the essence of the river, the life-blood of the city, ebbing and flowing before his perceptive eyes and caught by his skilful brush.

    Thames Conservation Area Appraisal January 2020 Adopted: XXXXXXXXX Note: Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this document but due to the complexity of conservation areas, it would be impossible to include every facet contributing to the area’s special interest. Therefore, the omission of any feature does not necessarily convey a lack of significance. The Council will continue to assess each development proposal on its own merits.
