Battersea

Battersea – also known as Nappy Valley, for its magnetic attraction to young London-dwelling families – is filled with great places to explore. The home to Battersea Park (with its boating lake and kids’ zoo) and Clapham Common; Britain’s most buzzing train station (Clapham Junction); entertainment venues that range from Battersea Arts Centre, the cinema at Battersea Power Station to The (legendary) Clapham Grand; Battersea’s an excellent place to spend a weekend.

And that’s before you even get to the restaurants, bars and independent shops dotted on and around Northcote Road & Lavender Hill…
