Battersea occupies prime Thames-side real estate in southwest London, transformed from its industrial past into a sought-after residential area centred on the redeveloped Battersea Power Station. Access is straightforward via Battersea Bridge from Chelsea or the A24 through Vauxhall, though expect delays around Clapham Junction station. The area houses London's original Peace Pagoda in Battersea Park, one of just 80 worldwide.
