Battersea

Rapidly developing Battersea centres on its namesake park, home to fountains, a boating lake, and a Japanese-style Peace Pagoda overlooking the River Thames. The retired, art deco Battersea Power Station, with 4 towering chimneys, dominates the skyline. Battersea Arts Centre, in the 1890s town hall, presents comedy, music, and drama, and New Covent Garden is a huge wholesale market that sells flowers and produce.
