All about Battersea

This book is about the change of Battersea, which is a large district of south London, England, in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It is centered 3.5 miles southwest of Charing Cross and extends along the south bank of the River Thames. After centuries passed, London was likened to an old ship that had been repaired and rebuilt until its original wood could not be found. The changes and evolution of this so-called «town upon the lake» are really amazing.
