Once considered the quieter, scruffier neighbour to Chelsea, Battersea has spent the last decade turning that reputation on its head. The redevelopment around Battersea Power Station has brought new shops, offices and two new Northern line stations, while the streets around Northcote Road keep the area's original character firmly intact.
Northcote Road itself is the heart of daily life — a genuine local high street with independent cafes, a proper Saturday market, and enough restaurants and bars to make a night out easy without ever crossing the river.
