The inner-city area of Battersea is probably best known for its large park and Children’s Zoo on the south side of the River Thames, its Power Station - currently under development - and its Dogs and Cats Home. Based in the London Borough of Wandsworth, Battersea was originally part of Surrey, but has since been swallowed up by London.
Inhabited largely by families, the area has many good cafés and pubs in and around the affluent Battersea Rise, St John’s Road and Lavender Hill areas. The nearby south London suburb of Balham, meanwhile, runs a Farmers’ Market every Saturday at Chestnut Grove School and covers artisan foods including fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry, eggs, juices, bread and honey.
