Battersea (East)
An odd slice of post-industrial London dominated by the derelict Battersea Power Station, there’s naff-all here until someone decides what to do with the old hulk and its surrounding domain. In the meantime, try registering for a new pooch at the Dogs’ Home or cycling around nearby Battersea Park. The Mason’s Arms serves a decent beer.
