Hotels in Battersea

Yes, Battersea is definitely worth a visit. It’s a great area in Southwest London that blends green space, riverside views and cultural hotspots. Whether you’re looking to unwind in Battersea Park, explore unique markets or catch a show at Battersea Arts Centre, there’s plenty to keep you busy. It’s also become a more vibrant destination in recent years thanks to the regeneration around Battersea Power Station—which is now home to shops, restaurants and a riverside walkway.

Battersea’s popularity has grown a lot thanks to its mix of old and new. People are drawn in by the huge Battersea Park, riverside views and the iconic Battersea Power Station, which has been turned into a major leisure and shopping spot. It’s also well connected by public transport now, especially with the Northern Line extension, and has a lively mix of cafes, art spaces and places to eat.

Battersea is known for several standout places. The most famous is probably Battersea Power Station, a striking industrial landmark now filled with shops, restaurants and entertainment. It’s also home to Battersea Park, one of London’s best-loved parks with a zoo, boating lake and riverside paths. The area has a strong creative scene too, with Battersea Arts Centre running performances all year round. And of course, many people know it as the location of the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.

You can reach Battersea directly via the Northern Line. The station you’ll want is Battersea Power Station, which puts you right near the river and in walking distance of the park and shops. It’s a quick ride from central London, with trains running from places like Waterloo, Charing Cross and King’s Cross with an easy change if needed.

Battersea Park is one of the main attractions in the area and a great place to unwind, especially if you're travelling with family. Covering around 200 acres, you can rent a rowboat on the boating lake, take the kids to the Battersea Park Children’s Zoo or simply enjoy a peaceful walk. There’s also a riverside path with fantastic views of the River Thames. If you're into sports, the park has tennis courts, a running track and plenty of room for a kickabout or picnic. With its combination of nature, play areas and cafes, Battersea Park is a great place to spend a few hours during your visit.

Absolutely! Visiting New Covent Garden Market is another of the most popular things to do in Battersea for Premier Inn guests. The market is the largest in the UK and the best place in London for tourists to immerse themselves in the city's retail culture.

Battersea Arts Centre is a top destination for anyone into live performance, theatre or music. Set in a beautiful old building, it runs a year-round programme of shows and events, ranging from cutting-edge theatre and comedy to music and family-friendly productions. The events are always changing, so there’s often something new to check out.

Yes, Battersea has become a popular shopping spot, especially with the development around Battersea Power Station. You’ll find a good mix of high street stores, designer brands and independent shops inside the restored power station building. Nearby, there are also local shops, weekend markets and some stylish places to browse homeware, gifts and fashion. It’s not a major retail hub like Oxford Street, but it’s a great place for relaxed browsing in a more modern riverside setting.
