To the south of Chelsea lives charming Battersea, an unsung (and more affordable) hero of the south bank. This charming residential neighbourhood is centred around the magnificent Battersea Park which attracts visitors all year round to its lakes and fountains, delightful gardens, children's zoo, magnificent Peace Pagoda, not to mention its annual art fair. The affluence of its northern neighbour progressively colonises the shores of Battersea in the form of luxury riverside apartments. This neighbourhood is perfect for easy access to the attractions of Chelsea and multiple easy transport links to the rest of town, but with plentiful restaurants and excellent pubs to recommend it in its own right.
