We loved our stay in Battersea. The appartment was nice and clean. The kitchen is well equiped. You can hear the train but it doesn't really bother. It is a calm and friendly neighbourhood.
Gorcery stores are close as well as several bus stations. It took us 25 to 45 minutes to get to places in the city.
I enjoyed jogging in the Battersea park. It is close and very nice.
And we were glad that we could park our car in the garage.
