About Battersea
Located in South West London, Battersea is a thriving commercial area, boasting Victorian architecture, green spaces and riverside buildings. Once largely farmland, the Industrial Revolution and the arrival of the railway transformed Battersea into a busy industrial hub with lots of factories built in the area. The area is famous for the disused Battersea Power Station, which is now being redeveloped to bring new homes, modern office space, restaurants, shops and entertainment space.
The most unspoilt part of Battersea is the old village, south of the church. Notable areas include New Covent Garden Market, Battersea Park, Battersea Power Station, Shaftesbury Park Estate, the Pump House Gallery and Battersea Arts Centre.
Benefitting from extensive redevelopment, Battersea is becoming an increasingly fashionable area, with a wide range of businesses choosing Battersea for their office location.
Office Properties in Battersea

There is a planned Battersea tube station for 2020, a Northern line extension, which is sure to attract businesses to office premises in the area. There are also several bus routes that serve the area.
