About

Battersea Park sits on the south bank of the Thames in the London Borough of Wandsworth. Opened in 1858 and covering about 200 acres, the park combines recreational facilities and ornamental planting around a central boating lake. There is a children's zoo, an athletics track and a Victorian bandstand that stages concerts in summer. The Pump House Gallery occupies a former Victorian pump house by the river and programs contemporary exhibitions. A white Peace Pagoda, brought to the park by Nipponzan Myohoji monks in 1985, punctuates a quieter corner of the grounds.

The surrounding neighbourhood blends terraces and newer apartment blocks with shops and cafés along Battersea Park Road and Queenstown Road. Riverside paths run beside the park, used by walkers, cyclists and local sports clubs. Community events and organised fixtures are common on weekends, while small playgrounds and open lawns attract families on weekday afternoons. Transport links connect the area to the rest of the city, and the park forms a year-round focus for local residents rather than a distant tourist stop.
