An inner city district with a population of over 75,000 people, Battersea is potentially most known for the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home and the Battersea Power Station, which was featured on Pink Floyd's cover for the Animals albumn. It is now disused and currently being transformed into an entertainment and commercial complex. Surrounded by suburbs such as Clapham, Wandsworth, Vauxhall, Chelsea, Stockwell, Earlsfield and Fulham, Battersea is an ideal location for professionals working in central London. It has fabulous transport links leading into and away from centre of London from Battersea Park train station and, soon, from Battersea North and Battersea tube station. The area is popular among 20 and 30-somethings and offers lots to do including New Covent Garden Market, Battersea Park, the London Heliport and the Royal Academy of Dance. There are also a number of theatres sitting within the town as well as a couple of churches, and the river Thames sits at one end of Battersea also.
