Look Into History

Battersea’s provenance can be traced back to the 7th century as a rural riverside village that was known for farming and orchards. Its identity was heavily influenced by industrialisation in the 18th-19th century where factories, breweries and docklands were established. The most remarkable turning point came in the form of the Battersea Power Station, which was built in the 1930s and became an emblem of London’s industrial era in the region. Its ongoing regeneration into a mixed-use space reflects just how far the city and region have come with their transformation into a hub for luxury living, business and culture.

Notable Landmarks

The area’s industrial pedigree has left remnants in many landmarks that now stand as symbols of the neighbourhood’s history. The New Covent Garden Market, a major fruit and vegetable wholesale market that was relocated from Covent Garden in 1974, continues to be a huge draw for locals. One of the oldest and most renowned animal rescue organisations in the UK, Battersea Dogs & Cats Home was founded in 1860 and has ever since cared for millions of stray and abandoned animals, remaining a landmark of reference. Battersea Park presents a rare urban biodiversity hotspot in London, with over 50 bird species and rare freshwater fish in the boating lake — also earning it a designation as a Local Nature Conservation Site (LNCS).

Nine Elms Regeneration Project

A defining cornerstone of the neighbourhood today is the Nine Elms Regeneration Project, a major riverside redevelopment zone in Battersea and Vauxhall that spans nearly 200 hectares and runs along the south bank of the River Thames. One of London’s largest urban ambitions, it aims to transform this iconic Grade II * listed building into a new mixed-use hub with residential, commercial and cultural spaces. It is expected to house luxury waterfront homes, embassies, offices, community and leisure enclaves, and will be served by a well-equipped transportation infrastructure.
