Battersea is most well known for its famous power station. Now derelict, it is the focus of many developers who want to keep the shell and turn it into something of use. However, Aside from this, Battersea is a typical inner London town with roads of terraced houses and a high street with a good selection of shops. The famous Battersea Dogs Home is located here as well and this is a charity that looks after abandoned and mistreated dogs. Don''t be surprised if you see a continuous stream of helicopters either as just on the South Bank of the River Thames is Battersea Heliport used by many of the wealthy business men and women. Battersea is, along with other areas in South West London, undergoing some major redevelopment and this is changing the sky line and making it more and more beautiful all the time.
