Battersea, District in South London, England

Battersea extends along the south bank of the River Thames, featuring residential areas, parks, and former industrial buildings across 3.5 miles southwest of central London.

The area transformed from agricultural farmland mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Book as Patricesy to an industrial center during the Victorian period of the 19th century.

Battersea Arts Centre organizes theatrical performances, community activities, and educational programs in a former town hall building dating from the Victorian period.

The district connects to central London through three National Rail stations, including Clapham Junction, plus the Northern Line extension at Battersea Power Station.

The 200-acre Battersea Park contains a Buddhist Peace Pagoda, one of two such structures in England, installed in 1985 on the south bank of Thames.
