What locals say about Battersea Park
“I love Battersea because of the beautiful park, it is well connected by bus to Chelsea and Clapham and it has character at the same time.”
Grace
“I love SW11 because it's close to the centre of London, but has a real personality of its own. A very villagey yet urban feel.”
Hannah
“Battersea Park is a lovely area. I live next to the park and have always loved the greenery which is so rare in London. It's just over the river from Chelsea and is well connected by bus and rail.”

About Battersea Park
Battersea Park is an 200 acre (83-hectare) green space at Battersea in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It is situated on the south bank of the River Thames opposite Chelsea, and was opened in 1858. The park occupies a mix of marshland reclaimed from the Thames, and land formerly used for market gardens that served the London population. The park is home to a small children's zoo, a boating lake, a bandstand, and several all-weather outdoor sporting facilities including tennis courts, a running track and football pitches. The park is also the site of the London Peace Pagoda, erected in 1985.
