Nestled on the south side of the river, it's famous for its imposing power station
Battersea (SW11) is in Zone 2 London, less than four miles from the city centre. Nestled on the south side of the river, it's famous for its imposing power station, a dogs' home, and one of south London's most beautiful parks. Without a London tube station, Battersea has somehow slipped under the radar of many investors, although that's all changing with the redevelopment of Battersea power station, and the opening of two Northern Line tube stations in 2020.
What makes Battersea a great place to live?
A community feel
In comparison to neighbouring Chelsea and Fulham, Battersea prides itself on its lower-key community feel. Battersea has its roots in hard-working London, with New Covent Garden Market still playing a central role in every-day trading.
Battersea Park
Battersea Park is one of the most loved parks in London, with a riverside promenade, adventure playground, Children's Zoo, boating pond and the Pump House Gallery.
A vibrant social scene
Nearby Northcote Road has a vast selection of bars and restaurants, and with just a short walk over Battersea Bridge, you have easy access to the vibrant social scene of Chelsea and Fulham. The Battersea Arts Centre provides theatre, art, comedy, music and kids' clubs throughout the year, while the area also benefits from the annual Affordable Art Fair in Battersea Park and the Battersea Literary Festival, which takes place in September.
Well connected
Although Battersea doesn't have a tube station (yet!), it is served by Battersea Park and Queenstown Road train stations, and is home to Clapham Junction (which is actually located in the centre of Battersea). There are also lots of buses to all over London, and you can walk to Chelsea and Fulham, located just across Battersea Bridge.
When it opens in 2020, the Northern Line extension will bring two new Tube stations to the area.
Average property prices in Battersea:
1 bedroom – £594,000
3 bedroom – £1.2 million
The average rental in Battersea is £2,341 per month for a two-bedroom property.
Why invest in Battersea?
While it could be argued that the best time to invest in Battersea has now passed, the area still offers excellent capital growth potential. With two new tube stations opening in 2020, and the benefit of large amounts of redevelopment (including the transformation of Battersea Power Station into apartments, and the opening of the new American Embassy), the best is yet to come. If you want to invest, be quick. In the past three years, property prices in SW11 have risen 33 per cent.

A FASCINATING PAST

MC Escher, the artist involved in the bar's design, is best known for his strange graphic works depicting surreal, impossible perspectives. The Falcon is part of the crest of the St John family, which is where our pub derives its name.

From the moment you step through the door of this archetypal Victorian corner pub, you'll feel like one of the locals. This is one of those timeless pubs that London still has in abundance, its style simple with bare wooden floors, an assortment of furniture, walled garden, extensive patio planting and a covered and heated seating area. Regulars head here for the good selection of real ales and an international wine list. Fresh ingredients arrive daily from the London markets, enabling the Mediterranean-style menu and specials to change accordingly; all prepared in the open-to-view kitchen. So, you might start with baked king prawns with garlic; or rare roast beef and grilled asparagus salad with horseradish gremolata. Follow with penne with Italian sausage ragu; spinach and gorgonzola risotto; or pan-roast hake fillet with purple sprouting broccoli and pearl barley. A traditional British lunch is served on Sundays.
