Get Battersea [pros|landscapers]

Battersea is a residential district of south London in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It’s 2.9 miles south west of Charing Cross. The district has one of southwest London’s main parks, Battersea Park. In 2001, Battersea had a population of 75,651, but by 2011 the number stood at 73,345, noting a slight reduction. There’s a big area of public housing estates constructed during the mid-20th century, virtually all situated north of the main railway lines from Fairfield to Queenstown. There are 4 substantially significant estates; Surrey Lane Estate to the north, Doddington and Rollo Estate, Patmore Estate towards the east and also the Winstanley Estate, that is recognised for being the birthplace of the garage collective So Solid Crew. You will find numerous notable landmarks in Battersea, one of which is the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. Prior to that, the Temporary Home for Lost and Starving Dogs was based in Battersea just after moving from Holloway in 1871. Other landmarks contain the New Covent Garden Market, a major vegetable and fruit wholesale market place, plus the now disused Battersea Power Station which was constructed between 1929 and 1939. There have already been many redevelopment projects since the 1980s to transform the station into an entertainment and commercial complex, but at this point all attempts failed.
