Apartments and townhouses south of the Thames, between Battersea Park, the Power Station and Northcote Road

Four chimneys, two hundred acres of park and Chelsea over the bridge
For most of the last century, Londoners knew Battersea by its silhouette. The power station's four white chimneys stood over the river for decades, long after the turbines stopped in the 1980s. It has now been restored and opened to the public, with a Tube station of its own. Next door is one of the finest Victorian parks in the city, and Chelsea is a short walk across the Albert Bridge.
Our Battersea collection has 40 homes, from two-bedroom apartments in riverside and Power Station developments to family townhouses with private gardens on the quieter residential streets. The largest have 4 bedrooms, and several come with gyms, balconies or patios.
This guide covers the riverside, the park and the village streets further south, along with when to come and how to get here.

A Grade II* listed landmark, back in use
Battersea Power Station is Grade II* listed, and after years of false starts it opened to the public in October 2022. Its turbine halls now hold shops, restaurants and bars, and the restored 1930s Control Room A is used for events. The best thing to do here is ride Lift 109, a glass lift that rises up one of the chimneys to a viewing platform 109 metres above sea level.
Getting about is easy. The Northern line extension opened in September 2021, and both of its new stations are in fare zone 1. Riverboats also call at the pier for Westminster and the City.
A Victorian park on the Thames
Battersea Park opened in the 1850s and covers around two hundred acres along the river, opposite Chelsea. It has a boating lake, a small children's zoo, sports pitches and the Pump House Gallery. The Peace Pagoda, built by Japanese Buddhist monks in the 1980s, looks across the water to Cheyne Walk.
Homes near the park suit families in particular, as there is room to run, cycle and picnic within a few minutes of the front door. In the evening, walk back over the Albert Bridge after dinner on the King's Road, when the bridge is lit up like a fairground.

Blake, Turner and a very good market street
The parish church of St Mary's stands right on the river, a short walk upstream from the park. William Blake married Catherine Boucher there in 1782, and Turner is said to have painted the Thames from its vestry window. Further south, the streets between Clapham Junction and Wandsworth Common are full of Victorian terraces, and Northcote Road is the local high street, with independent delis, butchers, cafés and a street market.
Battersea Arts Centre, in the old town hall on Lavender Hill, puts on adventurous theatre. Battersea Dogs and Cats Home has been in the area since the 1870s.

Food halls, delis and a year-round calendar
Eating in Battersea goes from casual to serious. There are food halls and riverside restaurants at the Power Station, neighbourhood bistros on Battersea Square, and the delis and bakeries of Northcote Road for a picnic in the park. Chelsea's restaurants are a short walk over the river.
London works well in any season. Late spring and summer are the best months for the park and long evenings by the river. The Affordable Art Fair usually comes to Battersea Park in spring and autumn, and December brings Christmas lights and markets. Our concierge can book restaurant tables, theatre tickets, Lift 109 visits and airport transfers.
