Battersea Park

This park is popular with athletes and includes playgrounds, a lake for boating and a children's zoo. The park is also often used for community events. Visitors can enjoy the various art fairs and puppet shows taking place here. The park has a magnificent view of the River Thames. It is also home to the Peace Pagoda, which was built by Japanese monks.

Make sure to notice the many varieties of trees, because the park is home to some of the oldest in the city. At the end of May, visitors can witness a breathtaking display of blue and purple flowers blossoming all at once.
