Battersea Park

Battersea Park is the jewel in the crown of London's parks. No other park in the capital offers so much to see, do and enjoy.

It's numerous attractions include a boating lake, sports courts, an Olympic quality running track, bike hire, a popular and amazing children's zoo, a lakeside restaurant, a Victorian bandstand, tennis courts, a wild and exciting children's adventure playground, all weather floodlit sports pitches and an impressive peace pagoda - a unique London landmark complete with gold coloured Buddhas overlooking the River Thames. A new café, “Putt in the Park” mini-golf and “Go Ape” aerial adventure all opening Spring 2015

As well as all these activities, the park also provides a peaceful oasis in central London where visitors can relax, read a book, enjoy a picnic and get away from all the noise and stresses of London life. Its beautifully maintained gardens, especially its famous sub-tropical Victorian garden, and the new Winter Garden - the vision and creation of the Friends of Battersea Park - really do offer a tranquil and relaxing place to get away from it all.

Battersea Park truly is one of London’s most popular and well used parks – welcoming more than 3 million visitors through its gates last year. There is so much to see, do and enjoy that it’s impossible to do it all in a day. That’s why people come back time after time to enjoy something new.
