What it's famous for
Battersea is internationally recognised for the iconic Battersea Power Station, the Grade II* listed Art Deco landmark on the Thames that has been transformed into a major retail, residential and leisure destination. The area is also celebrated for Battersea Park, one of London's finest Victorian parks, home to a boating lake, children's zoo and the striking Peace Pagoda. Lavender Hill itself gained cultural fame as the setting of the classic Ealing comedy The Lavender Hill Mob (1951). The neighbourhood has a strong tradition of independent arts, with the Battersea Arts Centre — housed in the former Battersea Town Hall on Lavender Hill — a leading hub for experimental theatre and creative arts in London.
