Highlights from Battersea and the Riverside
Battersea Park and Fireworks: The sprawling park offers a tranquil escape right on the Thames, complete with hidden gardens and wide promenades. The neighbourhood truly comes alive during the annual fireworks display, where massive bursts of colour illuminate the night sky and reflect perfectly over the dark water.
Battersea Dogs and Cats Home: Nestled near the park, this world famous animal rescue charity holds a very special place for our family. Tom's aunt has given a loving home to many dogs from here over the years, making it an absolute must visit and a cornerstone of the local community.
The Revitalised Power Station: The iconic brick chimneys of Battersea Power Station now anchor a completely updated, thriving riverside destination that has been transformed into a massive shopping centre. With over a hundred shops and dozens of restaurants housed within the restored Art Deco turbine halls, it has become a vibrant hub for retail and dining.
A Pet Friendly Destination: The entire Power Station development is incredibly welcoming to pets, meaning the family dogs absolutely love going there now. With wide open spaces and numerous venues catering to animals, the recent updates have turned the area into the ultimate day out for your four legged friends.
The Northern Line Extension: Getting to the area has never been easier, thanks to the new Zone 1 Underground station located right on site. The dedicated Battersea Power Station stop on the Northern line connects the neighbourhood directly to the heart of the city in just minutes.
