Battersea Park

Battersea Park is a large traditional park on the south bank of the Thames opposite Chelsea. Two Victorian bridges span the river at each end of the park, Chelsea Bridge to the east and the Albert Bridge to the west.

The park has all sorts of amenities and provides a welcome open space in the heart of a London surburb. It's run by the Wandsworth Borough Council, one of the London Boroughs.

I've included a few photographs of the park, as we really enjoy it and we can recommend it as a breath of fresh air in this huge city.
