  • Battersea Area Guide

    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.

From its very beginning, the building’s titanic form and scale THE ICON have captured the world’s imagination. Two design icons, one designer. The world-renowned London telephone box was one of architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s most memorable creations, the other was Battersea Power Station. Red buses, A BRITISH ICON Beefeaters, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and Battersea Power Station – this icon takes its place as part of the world’s visual language for London. 4 5 BATTERSEA POWER STATION THE ICON A DESIGN ICON This was no ordinary Power Station, no ordinary design. Entering through bronze doors sculpted with personifications of power and energy, ascending via elaborate wrought iron staircases and arriving at the celebrated art deco control room with walls lined with Italian marble, polished parquet flooring and intricate glazed ceilings, looking out across the heart of the Power Station, its turbine hall, its giant walls of polished terracotta, it’s no wonder it was christened the ‘Temple of Modern Power’. Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s design of Battersea Power Station turned this immense structure into a thing of beauty, which stood as London’s tallest building for 30 years and remains one of the largest brick buildings in the world.
