Battersea Power Station and riverside regeneration

Battersea is best known for the landmark Battersea Power Station, now a destination with shops, restaurants and a glass elevator up one of its chimneys. Battersea Park, with its Peace Pagoda and boating lake, sits just to the west.

The Northern line extension has made the area easy to reach from central London.
