Clapham Junction, just a short walk away, serves as a major transport hub with London Overground, Southwestern, and Southern Train services.

Things to Do

Battersea is home to some of the best green spaces in London. Battersea Park is a standout, with its boating lake, children’s zoo, playgrounds, cafés, an art gallery, adventure golf, and Go Ape. It's the perfect place for leisurely strolls along the Thames, picnics by the lawns, and moments of tranquillity at the Peace Pagoda. Nearby, Clapham and Wandsworth Commons offer additional outdoor spaces with sports clubs, tennis courts, and playgrounds.

Northcote Road Market is a culinary treasure trove, ideal for browsing artisanal treats, unique finds, and soaking up the buzzing atmosphere.

Battersea’s cultural scene is equally impressive, with the Battersea Arts Centre being a major hub for fringe theatre, housed in a beautiful Grade II-listed building. For film lovers, The Cinema in The Arches provides a luxurious experience with plush seating and state-of-the-art sound.

Residents can also explore the iconic Battersea Power Station, which has been transformed into a vibrant cultural and dining destination, with a blend of shops, restaurants, and event spaces, creating a dynamic new heart for the neighbourhood.
