First opened in 1858, Battersea Park can be found along the south bank of the River Thames, and was part of a Victorian initiative to create open public space in an increasingly industrialised city. Over the decades, Battersea Park has come to be regarded as one of London’s most interesting parks, offering a variety of activities, cultural celebrations and green space within an inner-city setting. Adjacent to the park, the Battersea Power Station redevelopment has transformed a once derelict industrial landmark into a neighbourhood of shopping, dining and entertainment.
